The 2023 Australian Earth Sciences Convention (AESC) is fast approaching. Held on Noongar Whadjuk boodja (country), it will showcase a breadth of new geoscience understandings from the Australian lithosphere to Earth’s dynamic evolution and resources. Equally diverse will be our participation through NCRIS enabled talks, workshops, presentations and a joined booth with ANZIC. Join us.

AuScope-ANZIC Booth (#17)

We invite you to join us for a cup of tea at our shared booth #17 with ANZIC, the Australian & New Zealand International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Consortium, part of an international marine research collaboration harnessing state-of-the-art scientific ocean drilling to explore the Earth under the sea.

AuScope and ANZIC are proud collaborators in support of addressing Australia’s climate challenges, through the Land-2-Sea-Geoscience pilot project and other emerging initiatives. Join this natural booth partnership, including representatives from respective management and projects teams, including the AuScope Geochemistry Network (AGN) team, over the week.

“Opportunities to meet and exchange ideas in a comfortable and enriching setting are invaluable for our community to both reflect and innovate. We’re excited for such a large collective of AuScope and ANZIC representatives to come together at AESC.”
