Teaching Lab Rooms

Our lab rooms are used for undergraduate Earth Science practicals (labs) and upper year (2nd to 4th year) lectures. We also host community events (e.g., Town Halls), outreach activities (e.g. Eclipse event), activities with external partners (e.g. PGO short courses and presentations), and reserve lab rooms and equipment for use by other departments (e.g. Forensics, Anthropology).
