Excursion

GEOLOGY BY TRAIN: THE BELAIR RAILWAY LINE

Sunday June 29th 10:00 am

The Belair Railway line traverses the Eden fault scarp, giving an opportunity to see a significant geological episode - the transition from pre-glacial shales and quartzites to ice-rafted boulders and outwash clays - from the comfort of a rail car. Also great views of fault scarps and a glimpse into the Tertiary. Later we will walk into “Viaduct Gully” to observe some spectacular structures and explore the old viaduct remains, railway cutting and abandoned tunnel.

Lecture

From Iran to Adelaide: A research journey uncovering nature's solution for mine water contamination

Thursday 3rd of July 2025 at 7.00 pm

Wastewater from mining operations, particularly acid mine drainage (AMD), is a severe environmental challenge. Dr Sanaz Orandi will share the challenges and breakthroughs of setting up a biofilm reactor for AMD treatment, highlighting its potential as a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach for mine water remediation. She will provide insights into the challenges posed by scarce water resources and the ancient solutions developed in Persia (Iran) to address them.
