Our Place in Space 3: The Moon

In this episode we will look at our nearest neighbour in space. What do we know about it and how did it form? What is it made of? We will look at what the Apollo landings found-and learn about moon quakes. Is there water on the Moon? Is the Moon important for us here on the Earth?

Critical Minerals 4: Sourcing critical minerals – natural resources

Our Place in Space 4: The Earth

In this episode we will look at things Extra-Terrestrial on Earth. What killed the megafauna? How did the first land form? Is life extra-terrestrial? Where did our water come from? Why wouldn’t we be here if the dinosaurs had not been wiped out by a meteorite? Why is ET-climate change important for humans to evolve?

Critical Minerals 5: Sourcing critical minerals – recycling and processing

As well as the demand for critical minerals is out pacing the discovery of new natural resources, society is more conscious of the environmental and community aspects of mining, and need to recycle. This episode will explore the ‘circular economy’ model to recycle and repurpose minerals that have already been mined, and look at new advances in recycling and reprocessing to source critical minerals.

Critical Minerals 6: Critical minerals in Australia.

Australia is well endowed with mineral resources and a world-class mining sector. The last episode of the series will focus on this endowment, geopolitical risks to our supply chain, advances and challenges in recycling minerals, and current projects to maximise mineral recovery from historical mining
