New paper in the Journal of Geology led by PhD candidate Isabel Z looking at integration of #detrital feldspar and zircon data on the NW Shelf of Australia to distinguish proximal and distal sediment #provenance doi.org/10.1086/726757

We are #hiring. #ResearchAssociate position available for an isotope geologist to join us at the TMSG (we're great fun). Please spread the word! See the link for more deets - earthworks-jobs.com/geoscience/cur…

Progress but still plenty of room for improvement given the 8.5% (total remuneration) #genderpaygap Curtin University Check your workplace here - wgea.gov.au/data-statistic…

New #openaccess paper in #EPSL led by soon to be Dr Scharf using #machinelearning that shows the value of zircon grain shape and texture for predicting source rock silica. doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl…

Great #permanent #lectureship opportunity for someone to come and join us in Earth and Planetary Sciences Curtin University staff.curtin.edu.au/job-vacancies/…

We are currently advertising for a new #fullyfunded #PhD position in collaboration with the Geological Survey of Western Australia on Early Earth Isotope Geochemistry. Open until filled but expected to be in position by March 2025 - scholarships.curtin.edu.au/Scholarship/?i…

Such a prophetic name for an atmospheric CO2 observatory #grim

Dive into our new paper in Basin Research exploring the complexities of sediment routing and mixing around Perth and the imprint of fluvial systems on the continental shelf despite the Holocene transgression doi.org/10.1111/bre.70…

Some choice quotes in here - "shocking mismanagement... ...unabated corporatisation of the sector. Rampant casualisation, wage theft and enormous workloads... crushing staff, and now hundreds will be without a job" theguardian.com/australia-news…

New #openaccess paper with JohndeLaeter Centre. Unravelling #Earth history using the detrital record is impeded by biases. Here we demonstrate the value of in-situ Rb-Sr dating of detrital mica to resolve low temperature events and more direct sediment derivation - doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…

New paper in #EarthScienceReviews led by Chinese colleagues using sediment provenance to explore the evolution of the mighty, most sediment laden, Tibetan Plateau draining, Yellow River (Huang He). Like the river, it is a long one! authors.elsevier.com/c/1kD7Y2weQwxww

Congratulations to the latest TMSG, #EPS and #Curtin doctors who graduated last night - the exceptionally talented Drs @anthony__clarke, Taryn Scharf and Isabel Zutterkirch (with HoS Prof. Martin Van Kranendonk) 🥳

#Provenance researchers please join us in Wellington, New Zealand 2026 for the IAS International Association of Sedimentologists IAS 22nd International Sedimentological Congress confer.co.nz/isc2026/tecton…

Don't forget to get your abstracts in for the session on "Next Generation Sediment Provenance: More Holistic Understanding of Source Regions, Sediment Pathways, and Depositional Settings" with Milo Barham, Angana Chaudhuri, InesP, M. Dröllner and K. Sundell

Lovely work weaving together multiple lines of evidence to better understand the early Earth.

Understanding the complexities of ancient continental scale sediment routing is especially challenging. Our latest work brings some interesting aspects to light.
