24.01.2022 The Royal Society of Tasmania is proud to announce the publication of it's latest book - "Australian Mineral Discoverers 1950-2010" Published on the 1st Decembe...r 2020, the book may be ordered now via the Society's online store: https://rst.org.au//australian-mineral-discoverers-1950-2/ Editors: John Hill, Tony Hope, Ross Large, David Royle The Society has historically maintained a strong connection with exploration and discovery across a broad spectrum of natural sciences, including medical, biological and geological sciences. Geologists have played an important role in the Society, beginning with RM Johnston, a highly active and influential member, who authored the first book on the Geology of Tasmania which was commissioned by the Tasmania Government in 1884 to promote exploration and mining in Tasmania. His contributions were recognised by the Society with the production of the R.M. Johnston Medal. Mineral discoveries in the 1950 to 2010 period have been the backbone of wealth creation for all Australians and helped to maintain Australia’s economic position as the Lucky Country. However, discovery of buried minerals is an extremely complex science that requires knowledge, innovation, disciplined application of geological principles, teamwork, persistence and an ounce of luck. This book features 65 stories of the life and achievements of a cross section of Australian mineral explorers who have advanced the science of discovery and contributed to the wealth of Australia for all Australians. Without these mineral discoveries, most in remote and inhospitable parts of Australia, many of us would not enjoy the high standards of living achieved in this country.

23.01.2022 On Thursday 19 November, the GSA SA Division invites you to attend their online lunchtime talk! Dr Rachelle Kernen will present 'Unravelling Ediacaran salt tect...onics in the Flinders Ranges, Australia'. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/gsa-sa-division-lunchtime-t Once registered, you'll receive a link to watch the lecture on Zoom the morning of the meeting. Rachelle did her PhD, at the University of Texas at El Paso, where her focus was to integrate salt tectonic fieldwork, seismic data, physical modelling, and geochemistry to answer complex energy-related questions about geological processes within salt diapirs and along the salt-sediment interface. She has extensive salt tectonic seismic interpretation experience in the oil industry working for Royal Dutch Shell & BP Americas. Rachelle is passionate about the Energy Transition and DEI where she is actively changing and re-shaping organizations (volunteering for non-profits at the moment). Currently, she is Co-chair of AAPG’s Women’s Network, Co-Founder of AAPG’s Salt Basins Technical Interest Group, & an Honorary Visiting Research Fellow at Australia’s School of Petroleum & Energy Resources at the University of Adelaide. Abstract: Patawarta Diapir, approximately 2-6km2 located in the Central Flinders Ranges, South Australia, has been interpreted as a single allochthonous salt sheet containing Tonian-aged igneous and layered evaporite sedimentary intrasalt inclusions derived from the Callanna Group. Using detailed field mapping, petrographic analysis, and lithostratigraphic correlation within Patawarta Diapir, five primarily silty limestone inclusions (0.5-2km2) are re-interpreted as Ediacaran-aged Wonoka Formation and Patsy Hill member of the Bonney Sandstone (Wilpena Group). The Ediacaran-aged inclusions are concentrated on the diapir’s south side where they are juxtaposed against a 1-2 km2, approximately 300-million-year older Tonian-aged Curdimurka Subgroup (Callanna Group) inclusion. The Ediacaran-aged silty carbonate inclusions in the Patawarta Diapir are interpreted to represent a suprasalt condensed section forming a carapace composed of Wonoka Formation and lower beds of the Patsy Hill member (Bonney Sandstone). Based on this geometric configuration, the Patawarta Diapir is composed of two separate evaporite bodies that encase the suprasalt carapace at an allosuture zone. The encasement process was likely driven by a combination of factors including regional shortening during the Delamerian Orogeny, high sedimentation rates forming local depocenters, and down-dip gravity sliding on the low-angle regional shelf. By using modern concepts in salt tectonics, this study represents the first documented example of a diagenetically altered Ediacaran Shuram Excursion due to stratigraphy being encased in a diapir in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia. #GeologicalSocietyofAustralia #geology #geologist #science #geological #geoscience #earthscience #FlindersRanges #Ediacaran

05.01.2022 An Account of Earth's Middle Ages Life and Resources An online Webinar via Zoom, with Dr Indrani Mukherjee October 4th, 2020, 3pm, Hobart. Register in advanc...e for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us//register/WN_NPa0bXzQQvq-Va6GhOjVkA After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. Dr Indrani Mukherjee is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Geochemistry at CODES, University of Tasmania. She completed her PhD in 2018 from the University of Tasmania under the supervision of Professor Ross Large. Indrani acquired her B.Sc. (Honours) and M.Sc. in Geology degrees from the University of Delhi, India. Indrani’s main focus has been on understanding pyrite trace element and sulphur isotope geochemistry in Precambrian marine black shales. Her research ties past geochemical conditions of the atmosphere-ocean system to evolution of early complex life and secular distribution of ore deposits through time. Indrani aims to apply the pyrite LA-ICP-MS technique towards developing a deep time model for evolution of complex life and devising vectors to SEDEX Zn-Pb and sedimentary Cu mineralisation.
