Early Miocene silicified limestone from Temma, northwestern Tasmania: further evidence of substantial post-Early Miocene uplift or tilting of Tasmania
Get PDFSilicified shallow-water Early Miocene (Longfordian) marine limestone occurs in altitudes to over 160m, 12km east of Temma in northwestern Tasmania, the highest elevation known to date for rocks of this age and environment of deposition. Age and environmental data are provided by Foraminifera, calcareous algae and poorly preserved macrofauna. Mode of silicification of Foraminifera varies systematically between suborders - miliolids and agglutinated species as internal moulds, nodosariids, rotaliids and cibicidids as vohune-for-volume replacements. Foraminifera are benthic only. Miliolids dominate but preservation is too poor to allow statistically valid analysis. The locality provides only the second occurrence of Tenisonina tasmaniae Quilty, and, for the first time, it occurs with Sherbornina atkinsoni Chapman

Marie Sierra(Art Forum)
Get PDFMarie Sierra will be speaking about her recent work, with a bit of background on the development of the work over time. She will also show some images from her PhD thesis, which was about how nature is socially constructed through the advertising of 'green' whitegoods.

Along the way she did a PhD in the School of Architecture & Design at RMIT on nature as a social construct, which is also the focus of her art practice. She has held solo and group exhibitions within Australia and overseas, published articles on contemporary art, and won several grants and awards, including five Australia Council Grants
William Fox (Art Forum)
Get PDFThe Anthropocene begins in the 1790s when the burning of fossil fuels creates a global signature, a strata of residue from greenhouses gases that marked when humans became the most pervasive geomorphological force on the planet. The beginning of the epoch was also marked by the birth of Earth systems science, and the start of a concurrent evolution in the artistic representation of the planet from landscape art to land art, from making pictures of the land to using land itself and our effects on it to make art. Fox’s talk will trace the development of earth systems science from Alexander von Humboldt to Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen, who proposed the Anthropocene, and examine the synergy between artists and scientists as they study, represent, and seek to modify the environment.
Fox is the director of the Center for Art & Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno and a fellow of both the Royal Geographical Society and Explorers Club. He is the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, National Endowment for the Humanities and National Science Foundation. He has been a visiting scholar at the Getty Research Institute, Clark Art Institute and National Museum of Australia, and published more than a dozen books on how human cognition and landscape interact
