Victoria is full of passionate and interesting Geologists! To see what Geologists get up to, from adventures out in the field to discoveries in the lab, follow these crazy cats.
Adelle is a Palaeontologist and creator of ‘fun, colourful jewellery’. She lives and works in Winton, QLD at a cattle station and The Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum. She completed her undergraduate degree in Geosciences at Monash University (~2016). Her specialty is obviously dinosaurs, but especially of the Pterodactyl variety; she even discovered and named this beauty – the ferrodraco Lentoni!
Mel is a Structural Geologist and Metamorphic Petrologist at The School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment at Monash University, works to promote women in Earth Science and is a STA Superstar of STEM! Her speciality is shear zones, a.k.a. how do rocks change and deform when tectonic plates collide?
Casey is a Structural Geologist who has recently completed a PhD at Monash University, using Structural Geology and Geophysics to understand the role of faults in mineralisation near Otago, NZ. Follow her to see what field Exploration Geologists get up to day-to-day!
Ben is a Palaeontologist and Science Communicator who works at Melbourne Museum and Port Phillip Eco Center. He completed his undergraduate degree in Geosciences at Monash University (~2015). His speciality is whales and sharks… especially ones that lived in Melbourne millions of years ago!
