Ideas to Impact Series: AuScope
Australia's next critical-mineral discovery may be underground. AuScope combines seismic imaging, drill-core analysis and open Earth data to help researchers understand what lies beneath the surface. The film shows how better geological information can support more targeted and efficient mineral exploration.
