About
Meet a Geologist with this Museum Meet Up school program series.
What does an average Queensland Museum scientist’s “office” look like? Is it an outback fossil dig, mountain trek or underwater dive? Perhaps exploring a location using radar or drone technologies? Could it be finding evidence of the past in buildings, documents or underground?
Explore the ‘raw ingredients’ that Earth is made of and examine rocks, minerals, layers and landforms. See how they provide us with data, tracking our planet through time.
Museum scientist, Caitlin Syme will showcase her work behind the scenes and describe our relationships with geosciences by showing the ways it can unlock our ancient past, and how human activity has used the Earth's resources for millennia.
Bring Science as a Human Endeavour to life through presentations, exhibitions, collections and opportunities to ask questions.
