Geoscience Australia’s Discovery & Engagement team are developing a comprehensive plan to make our public spaces and programs more inclusive for visitors and staff. This will involve a multi-year journey to find effective ways to showcase the varied work of our staff and the relevance of Earth science to all Australians. To inform this work, GA undertook a series of audience research studies across a range of audiences to unearth interest in, knowledge about, and attitudes towards Earth science as a topic. This work involved a literature review, public surveys and focus groups, and audience testing for a new exhibit called Rocks that Shape Australia. This research is presented combined with recent findings from outreach work by the Exploring for the Future Geoscience Knowledge Sharing project team. Join us for intriguing insights into what the public know, think and feel about Earth science.
