G’day!

Welcome to GEOetc. My name is Gary Lewis and I am delighted to share the wonderful world of geoscience with you.

I have been involved in geoscience (or Earth science) since the 1980’s and want to share my passion by running field experiences, developing and sharing teaching resources, delving deeper into the theories or just explaining our planet for everyone to understand.

Whether you are an educator, student, rock hound or just love the great outdoors, I am sure that you will live and learn about it a little more with me.

As we all negotiate our world with this virus, we are working hard to keep folks safe and provide them with activities that they can use in their classrooms and remotely with students. We have stepped up our podcast and activity development schedules so that we provide you with new materials each week. All our 2020 mid-year trips have been postponed till 2021 to keep our participants safe and to adhere to the current travel restrictions and guidelines of the countries/locations we intended to visit. Please stay safe and we all hope we can return to some level of normality as soon as possible.

We are also working hard to ensure all our programs are inclusive. It is so very important to us to make sure everything thing we do is open and available to all educators, and we embrace diversity of all kinds. We support the efforts to see positive real change around the world.
