Communicating with integrity is fundamental to building trust in geoscience. This talk explores the importance of successful geoscience communication through examples and lessons from the recently completed Trusted Environmental and Geological Information (TEGI) Program. The TEGI Program developed a repository of the latest baseline data and information on geology, resources, groundwater, surface water and the environment for four basin regions (north Bowen, Galilee,Cooper and Adavale). This repository is designed to provide Australian governments, industry and communities with the highest-quality data an information available for these basin regions, enabling faster, evidence-based decisions and providing better outcomes for the environment.
About the Speaker:
Dr Sarlae McAlpine is the Senior Advisor for Critical Minerals, and Director of Strategy and Analysis in the Minerals, Energy and Groundwater Division at Geoscience Australia. Prior to her current role, Sarlae lead the implementation of the Trusted Environmental and Geological Information Program.
Sarlae completed her PhD in Earth Sciences at the Australian National University in 2015. Her career has focused on integration and communication of multi-disciplinary geoscience, international science engagement and pre-competitive geoscience research for over 10 years within the Australian Government.
