Addressing barriers to participation in the earth sciences is key to improving diversity.
Researchers will explore the unrecognised knowledge on which the foundational institutions of earth science are built.
By working with current students, academics and professional bodies, this project will seek to effect sector-wide change in discipline pedagogy and engage the public in a free geoscience exhibition.
