Dr Marita Bradshaw - Themes in future Australian Geoscience
Channel: GeoscienceAustralia
Date: 2019-05-15

Earth Systems, Big Data and Big Science, all underpinned by new technologies, are key themes in future geoscience. Australia, with its continent-wide data sets and in its ocean hemisphere, is well placed to play a big part in this future. Effective collaboration is essential to realise this potential - collaboration across the geoscience disciplines and well beyond, and between industry, universities and the various levels of government. Examples, opportunities and mechanisms for such collaboration will be discussed.

Dr Marita Bradshaw is a petroleum geologist with over 30 years of experience in government and industry. With Geoscience Australia, ESSO Australia and WMC, she had a focus on revealing and promoting the petroleum prospectivity of Australia. She was recently recognised by the Australian Geoscience Council as a National Geoscience Champion.

This talk was presented on 8 May 2019 as part of the Wednesday Seminar series.
