Excursion

THE INTRUDER AND THE HOST
Geology of Port Elliot and Middleton Region
10:00am – 3:00pm, APRIL 27, 2025

The Port Elliott and Middleton area is an excellent location to observe the relationship between granite intrusions into the surrounding Cambrian host rock. Also, superimposed over these rocks are effects of the Permian glaciation.
There are four locations we will visit on this excursion. The first two will deal with the Encounter Bay Granites at Pt Elliot (The Intruder) and the second two looking at the Middleton Sandstone (The Host).

Lecture

Presentations by University of Adelaide PhD students
Rare meteorites, rehabilitating the Brukunga Mine and dating the Gosses Bluff meteorite crater
Thursday 1st May 2025 at 7 pm

This showcase of student presentations has become a regular feature of our programme, giving graduate students from the Department of Earth Sciences an opportunity to tell the FGC about the exciting work that they are doing, and for the FGC to learn how these young and enthusiastic researchers are chipping away at the frontiers of earth science. The meeting will take the form of a 15-minute presentation by each of the students followed by discussion with the audience.
