SUMMARY:Volcanoes: from distant ancestors to diamonds
DESCRIPTION:What do diamonds in volcanoes tell us about deep\, dark place
s? What can we learn about human evolution by studying volcanoes in Afric
a? Verily\, our veteran volcanologist will vitalise visitors with valuabl
e vocalisations and vibrant visuals.Meet Dr. Hayden Dalton! Hayden\, a re
nowned geologist who has been traveling the depths of Africa will wow att
endees with stories about how volcanoes can be used to constrain the timi
ng of human evolution and how diamond-carrying volcanoes can reveal the s
ecrets of the Earth's interior.The Science Festival Midafternoon Mastercl
ass series is a series of five\, 45-minute lectures showcasing up-and-com

X-LIVEWHALE-CUSTOM-PRESENTER1-BIO:
\n Dr Hayden Daltonis a highl
y motivated researcher at The University of Melbourne within the School o
f Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. He is currently an Associate Lecturer i
n Geochemistry.\n
\n
\n His research has focused on the origin and timing of volca
nic eruptions across our planet. For his PhD\, he focused on kimberlites\
, the deepest derived magmas on Earth and the volcanoes responsible for t
ransporting diamonds from the deep Earth to the surface. He uses these ro
cks as a means to probe the geochemical evolution of the physically inacc
essible parts of the planet. More recently\, he has been investigating hu
ndreds of past volcanic events in east Africa to understand when these er
uptions occurred\, where they came from\, and the insights these can yiel
d into the timing of human evolution.\n
\n Julia Cleghorn is an extroverted science geek\, science commu
nicator\, project manager and performer at heart. Her career combines sci
ence and the arts to promote engagement and curiosity in science. She has
communicated science to kids on TV - as writer\, producer and presenter
for Network Ten's Scope\; in magazines - as writer for CSIRO's Double Hel
ix\; and on stage - with the Shell Questacon Science Circus. \n
\n
\n She currentl
y works at the University of Melbourne as the Manager of STEM Outreach Pr
ograms. Her team develops and delivers workshops\, shows\, and mentoring
programs to inspire high school students to study STEM. Many programs are
equity focused to drive change for low SES\, regional and Indigenous stu
dents. \n
\n
\n Ultimately\, her goal is to contribute to a more
informed and curious society. She believes the wonder of scientific resea
rch and discovery can help people feel alive and have a better appreciati
on of the world around them.\n
