WONDER

The Sculpture of Australian Landscapes, with Dr Steve Hill [part 1]


Listen Later

In today's show we traverse iconic Australian landscapes and uncover their roots in deep time. Dr Steve Hill shows us how 'reading landscapes' reveals their formation - by fire, by ice, by water - thus allowing us to imagine the ancient sculpture of todays world. We find out that encoded in our landscapes today are ancient inland seas, Australia's slow drift across the face of the Earth, and its transformation into arid, fiery lands...

What an utterly joyous conversation— a big thank you to our proud sponsors Geological Society of Australia who made this episode of Wonder possible.

Dr Steve Hill is Chief Scientist at Geoscience Australia, and he has a really cool instagram page @stevogeo
