Fantastic mixed media exhibition by Jo Caspari yesterday, as part of the Quandamooka Festival. Staged in the beautiful North Stradbroke Island Museum on Minjerribah (Straddie) Jo’s exhibition was an audio visual meditation on being On Country, island beauty & damage, and was in part illustrated by David Hannan’s stunning contemporary footage of Morovo lagoon in the Solomons set to an original score by Jo’s son Leon. Jo then highlighted the vast library resource of the OAA as part of a presentation about the future of ‘Virtual Ocean’ exhibits, enabling mass audiences a reef experience via digital projection, 4-7D installations and VR. All told it was a truly inspired way to share the OAA vision with Straddie...thanks Jo!

An amazing way to feel in your body the age and the development of our planet Earth. And you won't believe what happens on the last step of the 4.7km walk. The walk is led by Dr. Stephan Harding, Coordinator of the MSc in Holistic Science at Schumacher College and author of author of 'Animate Earth: Science, Intuition and Gaia'. What do you think of this? We're opening up for collaboration our new major documentary about the unique vision of the radical economist, David Fleming. We're putting online short tasters as we film them for your feedback with ideas, events and people we could include.

When this computer modelling was done in 1973, the year 2050 seemed eons away. But now it’s very close. Coral reefs worldwide are predicted to be extinct by then, Pacific Islands such as Tuvalu entirely under water. Amazing the warnings unheeded for all these decades...

Deep Look • PBS

Some corals look like undersea gardens, gently blowing in the breeze. Others look like alien brains. But in their skeletons are clues that promise to give scientists a detailed picture of the weather from 500 years ago. Reading these bones? Easy. As long as you have the world's most powerful X-ray laser.

The aim of the project is to tap into the power of citizen science to dramatically increase the amount of monitoring data within the Great Barrier Reef, and then translate these crowd-sourced data into valuable information that managers can use to make better decisions.
