Volcanologist Teresa Ubide opens volcanoes up from the outside, like a doll's house, searching for tiny crystal balls to help her predict when the next eruption might occurHumans have always had a complicated relationship with volcanoes — they are striking to look at and create fertile soils for farming, but they can be destructive and deadly.Today, around 10 per cent of the world's population lives within 100km of an active volcano, which means volcanology — the science of studying volcanoes — is becoming increasingly important.Volcanologists like Teresa Ubide, spend their time getting to know the 'personalities' of different volcanoes: how they work, the composition of the magma, the likelihood of eruption, and how spectacular that explosion of lava could be.When Teresa was a little girl, a teacher opened her imagination up to what she calls the 'guts of a volcano' and today, as an Australian Research Council Future Fellow and a lecturer at the University of Queensland, she travels the world visiting volcanoes and predicting their future by looking at tiny crystal balls.This episode of Conversations explores natural disasters, Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius, La Palma, Stromboli, Spain, Italy, Argentina, copper mining, sustainable mining, electric vehicles, smartphones, geology, magma, exploration, epic history, chemistry.

The 2024 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the theme of ‘Back to the Future: A New Era of Managed Trade?'Both the digital transition and decarbonisation ambitions have heightened demand for specialty metals, including nickel and lithium for electric vehicles and rare earths for advanced microelectronics. But as advanced economies' access to these metals is becoming increasing critical, supply security concerns are increasing: production of critical metals is concentrated in a small number of locations, while geopolitical tensions are rising.  The race to produce and acquire these minerals is boosting investment in Asia-Pacific, changing the relationship between the region and the global economy. Focusing on Indonesia and Australia, what role do producer countries play in the global supply chain for critical metals? How are these countries responding to economic and geopolitical and sustainability pressures? And how are countries in the region handling growing pressures towards fragmentation seen elsewhere in the advanced technologies global supply chain?Panellists:        Professor Ian Satchwell, Adjunct Professor, Sustainable Minerals Institute, The University of QueenslandDr Alloysius Joko Purwanto, Energy Economist, ERIAModerator:      Dr Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael InstituteThis podcast episode was recorded on 2 October 2024. Related content from GTS Contributors:Report | Reclaiming Leadership: Australia and the global critical minerals raceReport | Policies and Infrastructure Development for the Wider Penetration of xEVs in ASEAN Countries – Phase II ___ The Global Trade Series is a collaboration between AIG and the following international organisations with leading expertise on global trade: the Aspen Institute Germany; CEBRI - the Brazilian Center for International Relations; Chatham House (UK); CITD - the Center on Inclusive Trade and Development at Georgetown University Law Center (US); the Clingendael Institute (The Netherlands); Elcano Royal Institute (Spain); ERIA – the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (Indonesia); ISPI - the Italian Institute for International Political Studies; the Jacques Delors Institute (France); RIETI - the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (Japan); and the St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade (Switzerland).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not reflect the views, policy or position of American International Group Inc, or its subsidiaries or affiliates (AIG).

TITLE: A new kind of qubit SPEAKER: Prof Tom Stace AFFILIATION: School of Mathematics and Physics, University of Queensland HOSTED BY: A/Prof. Nathan Langford, UTS Centre for Quantum Software and Information ABSTRACT: Noise and errors have been the bottlenecks for building robust quantum machines. I will describe a proposed new class of superconducting devices that has built-in error rejection. Fundamentally, the encoding that facilitates this intrinsic robustness comes from the recognition that the Bloch band structure of these systems leads to a much bigger Hilbert spaces than has been traditionally considered. The extra space affords new qubit encodings, which I describe in two different instantiations. OTHER LINKS: Prof Tom Stace University Profile - researchers.uq.edu.au/researcher/1636

Brisbane is midway through a three-day COVID-19 lockdown - but will it end when we all hope? As we await the daily case numbers to be revealed, Dr. Paul Griffin from the University Of Queensland gives his predictions - and what Brisbane might expect following the end of the first three days...
