Chandrayaan-3 Mission: ‘Thanks for the ride, mate! 👋’ said the Lander Module (LM). LM is successfully separated from the Propulsion Module (PM) LM is set to descend to a slightly lower orbit upon a deboosting planned for tomorrow around 1600 Hrs., IST. Now, 🇮🇳 has3⃣ 🛰️🛰️🛰️

Amazing start to #UnimelbOpenDay with our Science at Melbourne School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences displays. Plenty of excited visitors!

Chandrayaan-3 Mission: 'India🇮🇳, I reached my destination and you too!' : Chandrayaan-3 Chandrayaan-3 has successfully soft-landed on the moon 🌖!. Congratulations, India🇮🇳! #Chandrayaan_3 #Ch3

The recordings of Science at Melbourne's NationalScienceWeek Mid-Afternoon Masterclasses, hosted by Julia Cleghorn are now available (including mine)! They covered weather systems to volcanoes, AI, animal welfare, and food science 🌦️🌭🐶🌋🍎 Links and details here: 👉science.unimelb.edu.au/about/news/sci…

The world need geoscientists more, now than ever, yet universities across Aotearoa and in Australia, wield the axe 🪓 We (geoscientists) need to get the message out to community and schools regarding the value of geoscience degrees (and the value of geoscience to our future) 🌏

I a delighted to receive this award and it won't be possible without the guidance of my supervisor Dr Naresh Krishna Vissa and all my professors at NIT Rourkela. My 2 years at NITR were fruitful and this is a testament to that. Thank you OceanSocietyofIndia and Ministry of Education for bestowing this honor.

Paper alert! nature.com/articles/s4146… Our research is recently published in Nature Communications. It shows the connection between lithospheric olivine from kimberlites and diamond grade. Happy reading! 😀😀😀

I had the pleasure of visiting the Year 8 team at MITS on their campus recently. We looked at the Science at Melbourne teaching collection of rock samples (of course) but also discussed how we measure the 'strength' of earthquakes and designed our own structures to withstand the shaking!📉🌏

4 years on... Humbled once again to recieve the Science at Melbourne Dean's (@OBryanMoira) Excellence Award for Teaching, this time as a lecturer! 🏆 Again, I must give thanks to the absolutely brilliant geoscientistst I've had the pleasure of teaching and working with 👨‍🏫🪨🌋

Lovely news! 1) GPlates 2.4 is out 2) It has built-in Scientific colour maps Thank you to those who made it happen! 💫 gplates.org/news/2023-12-0… #UseBatlow EarthByte

Enjoyed my first ever talk AGU (American Geophysical Union) #AGU23. Thanks to the Education and Outreach session convenors and all my co-authors for making this possible! Great to discuss why outreach is so important for the Geosciences and why it's even more important to evaluate its efficacy 🌋🪨👨‍🏫

🌒🌒UArizona Geosciences Assistant Professor Ananya Mallik's (Ananya Mallik) NASA proposal titled "How ‘wet’ is the Moon: Insight from hydrogen partitioning during lunar magma ocean crystallization” has been selected for funding!

Made my national TV debut yesterday on ABC News Breakfast with Nate Byrne. We chatted all about the recent, and repeated, volcanic eruptions near Grindavík in Iceland 🌋 Thanks to Nate for having me and making it so fun!

No doubt that AI is changing the landscape fast, but AI for the most part is about thinking inside the box, within the confines of the training data it was built on and various rules (bias) applied by the creators. AI's main draw is to do faster and cheaper what we already can

Had an amazing time teaching on Science at Melbourne's 'Tectonics and Geophysics' field course at Cape Conran. The rocks, weather and students were ALL great. We mapped rocks linked to the accretion of Australia's eastern margin; all very 'squished' as a result of prolonged tectonic forces!

ARC Centre of ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes released a new report on the state of climate extremes in 2023. Key takeaways - 2023 was a year of extremes both globally and also in Australia, leading to economy-wide effects. climateextremes.org.au/the-state-of-w… #ClimateAction

Very proud of Saini Samim's first paper as part of her Science at Melbourne PhD! Saini (painstakingly) evaluated the best approach for LA-ICP-MS analyses of tiny volcanic glass fragments, demonstrating how useful this can be for fingerprinting eruptive layers🌋🔬 OA🔓doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…

How cool is the 44th International Symposium on Archeometry (ISA) taking place at the beautiful ‘autumnal’ campus of Science at Melbourne. Also just celebrating the fact that I was finally able to take a selfie with my amazing supervisory team at a conference! 😊 #ISA2024Melb #SciMelb

#ISA2024Melb is finally here! Such a great start to the conference and feeling thankful for a great team of volunteers 😊 My poster is up for another day so come by, say hi, and learn about my research on Australian freshwater #shell middens!
