Cedar/Alderton Room,
Duntryleague Golf Club
Woodward Street, Orange
PRESENTED BY: Professor Peter Betts
With diminishing enrolments in the geosciences, universities closing earth science departments, mining and exploration companies struggling to find geologists, and community sentiment increasingly against new mining projects, is it time to better communicate what we do and why we love geology
Pete Betts is a Professor in Structural Geophysics at the School of Earth, Atmosphere, and Environment, at Monash University. He is also the Associate Dean of Graduate Research, where he is responsible for the Ph.D. and Research Masters portfolio in the Faculty of Science. Pete is the current President of the Geological Society of Australia and was the inaugural 2018 GSA Ambassador where he did a virtual tour of the country focusing on the “Geosciences narrative” – this presentation is an updated version that considers the impacts of the pandemic.
Drinks and nibbles will be provided. Optional PYO dinner after the talk at Duntryleague.
For dinner, please RSVP by 11th March to cwedg@outlook.com
