They produce samples that reveal how an orebody is layered (its stratigraphy) and other aspects of its lithology and physical characteristics. Geology, maths, physics, chemistry and biology are all sciences that will be leading this research. My year 10 geography teacher taught us about plate tectonics, and that was it!

CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. They also value experience of working in marine science or oceanography research. I loved going to university.

Unlike western science, which tends to look at parts of a whole, like cells in an organism or animals in an ecosystem, traditional knowledge explores how all parts interact and impact the whole system. Popular science books can give you an insight into how traditional knowledge informs western science.
