To better know the Earth...

We provide information and insight to the world’s researchers, resource exploration  companies and governments to support more informed decision making, from the search for natural resources to environmental management to education to shaping government and world policy.

We make this happen through an understanding of our planet’s past, present and possible futures, by knowing the right questions to ask, the right experts to talk to and work with, and the right technologies and systems to use.

Our purpose is to help people know the Earth better and make the best use of its precious resources.

Why us?

We are building a network of internationally recognized experts who are fascinated by the Earth system and exploring how it works and how our understanding can be applied to solving the Earth’s current and future resource and environmental challenges.

​We are committed to helping people know the Earth better and make the best use of its resources.

To achieve this we combine our broad and deep knowledge, experience and expertise with that of our extensive network to quickly identify the right questions to ask and shape a validated process to find answers.

Our vision is of a ‘Knowing Earth’,
populated by people seeking
​to understand our world.

​We believe that to solve the world’s current and future energy and resource issues, we first have to know and understand our planet. We dream of a knowing Earth where scientists, specialists and the general public work together to make a difference to how we manage our planet by better knowing the Earth we live on.
​
This means changing attitudes and bringing together people who look at earth’s past and present to work out how to sustain its future. People who love delving into the hidden depths to understand how the earth works. It means education, collaboration, integration. And it means not being afraid to ask for help or even to start by asking the ‘wrong’ questions.
