Since 2016, the $225m Exploring for the Future program has been gathering, analysing and providing precompetitive geoscience data, information and tools to help inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources, supporting our transition to net zero.
The 2023 Showcase is a free online event, where a team of geoscience experts reflect on the value of the program and share scientific highlights and precompetitive geoscience results with the minerals, groundwater and energy sectors, government, academia, research, colleagues, collaborators and the public.
This session included a ‘Resourcing to net zero’ presentation by Dr Andrew Heap with an overview of the Exploring for the Future program and ‘Our geoscience journey’ presentation by Dr Karol Czarnota highlighting the program’s achievements to date, followed by a panel discussion on the value of the Exploring for the Future program and precompetitive geoscientific data to industry, communities and government. Slides from the presentation are available at dx.doi.org/10.26186/148680
