Geoscience Australia Building Tour
The Geoscience Australia building is a purpose built geoscientific research facility situated in the Canberra suburb of Symonston.
The building demonstrates Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) design principles, in view of the Agency having carriage of the Australian Government's energy policies and Geoscience Australia's role to encourage economically and environmentally sustainable management of Australia's minerals, energy, soil and water resources.
Explaining Science at GeoScience Australia
I go to the GeoScience Australia building in Canberra and take a look at their Education Centre; I explain some science with the help of my brother. They do have some marvellous rocks but my GoPro would not do them any justice; I'll bring my M50 next time and take some pictures.

Canberra from space: 1987-2014
A fascinating look at how the Canberra landscape has changed over the last three decades.
This video contains 108 images of the Canberra region taken by the USGS/NASA Landsat satellites between 1987 and 2014.
The video highlights green vegetation on the ground so differences between seasons and rainy periods stand-out. Look out for the impact of the 2003 bushfire.
On-board both satellites was a whisk-broom sensor known as the 'Thematic Mapper' earth observation sensor which can simultaneously image the field-of-view below the satellite's transit over the earth's surface in seven spectral bands (three in the visible and four in the infra-red range).
Each pixel in each frame of the video is generated by combining a Red, Blue and Green value. We create a false-colour image per frame by compositing the Near Infrared, Red band and Green band from the Thematic Mapper into the Red, Blue and Green values per pixel.
This video was created by NCI's High Performance Data team using NCI's Raijin supercomputer. The Landsat Archive, curated by Geoscience Australia, is hosted at NCI. For more information visit
Geographic Information Systems as a Career
Hey Everyone!
If you are considering a career in #GeographicInformationSystems check out my video. So far, I dig what #GIS has done for my #career, but I am not quite sure I would have specifically do GIS as a career. Its best that GIS is an add on, no an end goal.

MYSTERIES Discovered In SPACE That SCIENCE CAN'T EXPLAIN
From Unexplained flying objects to stars that live two lives, here are mysteries discovered in space that has scientists stumped!
Hey Badger Buddies! Open Up that learning hole because here are mysterious things discovered in space that have scientists stumped!
#11 Oumuamua Oh mua mua
Back in October of 2017 the Pan-STARRS Telescope located at the Haleakala Observatory in Hawaii spotted a mysterious object floating through our solar system. Scientists named the traveling enigma Oumuamua because astronomers really want to make space as inaccessible as possible to the average person. What makes Oumuamua

Nothing goes out with a bang like a star!! And I’m not talking about Kurt Kobane. Supernovaes are the explosive end for some stars and they are so bright that they can be seen far across the universe. About 450 years ago one of the only supernovae in the history of our species was seen with the neigh kid eye. But what caused this explosion is still a mystery to scientists. This blast is known as SN 1572 and it is considered a type
#9 The Dark Flow
Next up is the dark flow, which also happens to be my rapper alias. I’m the dark flow, I can spit fast or I can spit slow. I put on this show and that helps your mind grow. I spit hot fire! Astonomers have identified what looks to be a group of distant galaxies that they have decided to call the dark flow. They gave the galaxies this moniker because they are traveling at a speed of over 1 million miles per hour.

Oumuamua isn’t the only celestial object that has people considering the possibility of alien life. Extraterrestrials have been implicated in the puzzling dimming of Tabby’s Star. Tabby’s Star lists about 1,500 light years from out blue planet. What makes tabby’s star particularly perplexing is that it will occasionally and without warning drop in brightness by a stunning 22 percent. Some other stars will dim and brighten as other planets pass in front of them, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason to Tabby’s Star. One theory is that the cause of the dimming may be a megastructure built by and advanced alien species to harvest the star’s energy. Dr. Eva Bodman at Arizona State University is skeptical of that theory however and suggests the dimming may be due to complex clouds of space dust. Tabby’s Star has scientist all over the planet scratching their heads.

Three billion light years away from earth sits the largest object in space. Its known as a supervoid and its so large that it takes objects traveling at the speed of light hundreds of millions of years just to travel through it.
#6
Of all of the things in the universe that have scientists scratching their heads, fast radio bursts, also known as FRB’s might be the most vexing. These are sudden and rapid chirps of radio waves that last no longer than a couple of milliseconds. The first recorded FRB was picked up by a radio telescope in 2007 and researchers have been trying to make sense of the phenomenon ever since. It appears that these mysterious bursts

The Bermuda Triangle of Space!!! Because the magnetic fields of earth aren’t perfectly aligned to the rotation axis of the Earth there are certain points where radiation belts come closest to our planets surface. Somewhere in orbit about the 100 miles north of Atlantic Ocean is an aberration by the name of the the Southern Atlantic Anomaly.

Back in 2018 a bright flash suddenly came out of the Hercules constellation. Hercules! Hercules! It was soo bright that the light emitted was equivalent to 100 supernovae. Scientists called the flash “The Cow” because scientists are super mean. The light remained bright for two weeks and theories of what was causing it we’re flying around like hot cakes, what? Some believe that it was caused by a black hole consuming a white dwarf, other think it was the forming of a black hole. Nobody knows!
#3
The Moon is shrinking!! According to a new study published by Nature Geoscience, the moon’s core is cooling and that has resulted in it shrinkage of about 150 feet. An embarrassed moon has promised that its usually much bigger, its just that its super cold in space. As it shrinks, the moon’s brittle surface crust breaks and this creates “Trust Faults”. Trust faults sound like a

We’ve got an imposter! Japanese astronomers have found a star in the Milky Way that appears to be different from all others in our galaxy. That star is crashing our party, someone bounce him out of here! Its low in magnesium and high in

Remember to double tap the bed because coming in at number 1 is the Zombie star!! This anomaly has slown the minds and eaten the brains of astronomers for over 5 years. Back in 1954 astronomers observed the supernova
My Adopted Country: Australia by Erwin Feeken
The book begins with a chapter on homeland memories, followed by the author’s and his wife’s first experiences in Australia in 1954. For the first decade they moved from place to place, finally settling down in Canberra. These adventures are expressed in chapters on Tasmania, Darwin, a 15month stay in Canberra, Grafton, and finally Canberra again. The family, now with five daughters, settled in the National Capital where Mr Feeken became permanently employed as a draftsman and cartographer with the Bureau of Mineral Resources (now Geoscience Australia). Being interested in Australian Exploration, the family travelled year after year, checking out explorers’ discoveries, culminating in the publication of The Discovery and Exploration of Australia in 1970. Afterwards, the family still travelled, year after year, the vast expanses of the Australian Continent, often checking out explorers’ routes. After the untimely death of Mrs Feeken in 2005, the author was encouraged by friends to write up this story. The fascination for travelling the outback continued into the next generation. In 2007, Mr Feeken travelled with his granddaughter Kiah around Australia and to the centre, covering nearly 30 000 km in 6 months.

8.0 Earthquake SANTA CRUZ ISLANDS Tsunami Warning was issued!
Updated 12:11pm CDT
(Reuters) - A powerful 8.0 magnitude earthquake set off a tsunami that killed at least five people in a remote part of the Solomon Islands on Wednesday and triggered evacuations across the South Pacific as island nations issued tsunami alerts.
The quake struck 340 km (211 miles) east of Kira Kira in the Solomons, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii said as it issued warnings for the Solomons and other South Pacific nations including Australia and New Zealand. It later canceled the warnings for the outlying regions.
A tsunami measuring 0.9 metres (three feet) hit near the town of Lata on the remote Santa Cruz island, swamping some villages and the town's main airport as people fled to safety on higher ground.
More than three dozen aftershocks up to magnitude 6.6 rocked the region in the hours after the quake, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Lata hospital's director of nursing, Augustine Pilve, told New Zealand television that five people had been killed, including a boy about 10 years old, adding that more casualties were possible as officials made their way to at least three villages that may have been hit.
It's more likely that other villages along the coast of Santa Cruz may be affected, he said.
Disaster officials in the Solomon Islands capital Honiara told the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corp. that they believed six people were dead and that five villages had suffered damage.
Solomon Islands Police Commissioner John Lansley said it was too early to fully assess the damage or casualty numbers, and said authorities hoped to send aircraft to the region on Thursday to help determine the extent of the damage.
Luke Taula, a fisheries officer in Lata, said he watched the tsunami as it came in small tidal surges rather than as one large wave.
We have small waves come in, then go out again, then come back in. The waves have reached the airport terminal, he told Reuters by telephone.
The worst damage was to villages on the western side of a point that protects the main township, he said.
There are reports that some communities have been badly hit, their houses have been damaged by the waves.
About 5,000 people lived in and around the town, but the area was deserted as people fled to higher ground, Taula said.
HOT SPOT
The Solomons, perched on the geologically active Pacific Ring of Fire, were hit by a devastating tsunami following an 8.1 magnitude quake in 2007. At least 50 people were killed then and dozens left missing and more than 13 villages destroyed.
It's an area that is very prone to earthquakes, said Jonathan Bathgate, seismologist at Geoscience Australia. We've had seven 6-plus magnitude earthquakes in this region since January 31, so it has been very active in the past week.
Initial signs were that the tremor was a thrust quake, in which vertical movement in the continental plates generates higher risk of tsunami, Bathgate added.
Authorities in the Solomons, Fiji, Guam and elsewhere had urged residents to higher ground before the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center canceled its alerts.
The earthquake would have to be quite a bit bigger to make a much more sizeable tsunami, said Brian Shiro, geophysicist for the center in Hawaii.
