Island Science

Dr Rob on an islandWhen we think of islands, we imagine palm trees, holidays and tropical paradises. But there's a whole lot more to islands than just fun in the sun.

So join Dr Rob as he goes island hopping from Christmas Island to Norfolk Island and all way down to the island state, Tasmania, as he SCOPEs out all the science behind islands. As once again the ordinary becomes extraordinary, under the SCOPE.
