Oh there you are. Welcome to Earth Sciences.
So your first stop's just through here.
We'll see you at the end of the day.
So I'm working on a research project in 
the Kimberley in Northwest Australia
trying to find out how old Aboriginal rock art 
paintings in this region are.
Our results would suggest that these paintings are up to tens of thousands of years old.
So we've got our earthquake geology team assembled here and we've been asked to
do some research on a major dam project
in an area of Australia where they're
worried about seismic hazard and what
we're going to do is like detectives
we're going to dig holes across the fault,
we're going to study the soils, we're
going to look for evidence of past
earthquakes and what it means for the
the decision makers in charge of the dam.
So we've go the drone up now and we're
using it to look at landscapes. We're
using it to map rocks, we're using it to
map faults scarps. It's allowing us to
see the world in a very different way.
I'm visualising weather in three dimensions.
The great thing about this is you can just freeze time
and you can just walk around, look at the storms, look at every angle look at every single detail.
You can really understand what is going on a lot better.
So here we are in the Micro CT lab 
and I'm a  Geochemist.
In order to show off the capability, I have a little microprocessor
so you can see a tiny little sample
there in front of our x-ray so I'm going
to turn the x-ray beam on and all of a sudden, that little microfossil which was
only about one millimetre wide is about
10 centimetres wide and so every pixel
of resolution we have on that sample is
actually 1 micrometer in diameter.
So one one thousandth of a millimetre. 
This is one of our microfossils
rotating in 3d and this is a 3d model 
of that actual specimen.
Hey, hope you enjoyed your day.
Hopefully we'll see you next year.
