Resourceful, August 2025
This month, we dive into the exciting world of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), a game-changing technology that’s reshaping how we map minerals across Australia. We also shine the spotlight on apatite - a building block of teeth and bones and major source of agricultural phosphate, apatite is also unlocking the geological history of rocks through geochronology. Plus, we’ve got the scoop on the conferences we’re heading to and a roundup of recent stories showcasing the brilliant work and people behind our science.
