Geoscience Society: Chair Update July 2025

Dear Geoscience Society members,

It is with great enthusiasm that I introduce myself as the new Chair of the AusIMM Geoscience Society Committee.

As we look ahead to the second half of the year, our society's goal remains to foster a vibrant and inclusive community that connects geoscientists across disciplines, industries, and career stages, using our media platforms and a range of engaging opportunities.

In the spirit of connection, we’ll be introducing our committee members over the coming newsletters. Each edition will spotlight one of our passionate volunteers - sharing their background, interests, and what drives their commitment to geoscience. It’s a great way to get to know the people behind the scenes and discover shared passions and new perspectives.

The committee is diligently planning a series of engaging webinars, technical sessions, and professional development opportunities to foster both technical excellence and personal growth. We are excited to roll these out over the coming months. We are also eager to collaborate - whether you’re interested in presenting, partnering on events, or sharing ideas, we would love to hear from you!

Regards,
Zenoushka (Zen) Bynevelt
Chair, AusIMM Geoscience Society
