Geoscience Australia held the final Exploring for the Future online public Showcase during 13–16 August 2024, marking the conclusion of this remarkable 8-year program and celebrating its enduring legacy.
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 by 2050.
The 2024 Showcase was a free online event, where geoscience experts shared the latest results from the program and highlighted its impacts, benefits and achievements.
Day 2 included a ‘National geoscience theme’ covering our 3 flagship national geophysics surveys – AusAEM, AusLAMP and AusArray, and the ways national datasets have been used to develop transformational geoscience products, such as new maps of the lithosphere and the first national layered solid geology coverage, including a spotlight on the Heavy Mineral Map of Australia and the Isotopic Atlas of Australia.
