A landmark project is digitising almost a century of Queensland’s seismic records to help scientists and emergency services better understand the state’s earthquake risk.
Sand, gravel and limestone are necessary for the construction of foundations for wind turbines and solar panels, as well as the walls of hydroelectric dams and pumped hydro facilities.
Forget lithium, copper and rare earths – new research has found that sand and aggregates are the real secret ingredient of the renewable energy transition.
Flinders University will lead the newly funded ARC Training Centre for Advancing Archaeology in the Resources Sector, recently awarded $5 million through the Australian Research Council (ARC)’s Industrial Transformation Research Program.

Researchers from The University of Queensland have found that as much as 80% of the Pacific region’s sand and aggregate (used to build houses, roads, bridges, and to protect coastlines from the impacts of climate change) come from Fiji – at great cost for some of Fiji’s rivers.
Health and safety researchers at The University of Queensland have found that low-temperature rocks in an underground mine could be used to cool the deeper tunnels – potentially saving lives in the future.
