The Rock Blocks that Built Australia with Professor Pete Betts
Description
Welcome to the ultimate deep time exploration Down Under! With Professor Pete Betts from Monash University, Holly & Anthony imagine the Australian continent as a geologic mosaic of stone. We ask about the origins of these cratonic blocks, and how they came together to form the Australian jigsaw we know and love today. Prof Betts walks us through it all, from missing ocean basins to that time he sticky-taped together the continent...(And a bonus scoop: he even shares the goss on what new ideas can look and feel like at the frontlines of science). We hope you enjoy our conversation!
Huge thank you to the Geological Society of Australia for making this episode of Wonder possible.
