Geoscience Australia: Shaping a Nation
http://www.abc.net.au/tv/bigideas/stories/2014/03/14/3963231.htm
Australians live on the driest inhabited continent in the world, with unique flora and fauna and some of the cheapest energy resources available.
In this address, geologist Richard Blewett outlines how geology has shaped the economic and social history of this country.
He takes our geological history through to present day, noting the geohazards, challenges, possible solutions and choices we face when it comes to balancing and maintaining the environment with the economy.
‘The gorilla in the room is climate change’ says Blewett, as he delivers our ‘secret geological history’.
This public lecture was hosted as part of the 2013 Earth Science Week.

I have assumed that those outside Australia can view this - apologies of you can't
