They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and that is exactly the philosophy behind the Slab Lab, a new installation to help teach future geologists at The University of Queensland’s School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, housed in the Steele building.
The Lab, consisting of five large and several small cross-sections of geological materials from key localities in Australia, are arranged in an art gallery style throughout on the ground floor of the building – showing students the dynamic processes that shaped the continent.
