We would like to thank them for their warn welcome, questions and engagement.” Jazmin said: “This was a great opportunity to give the pupils at Forres Academy an insight into the career opportunities available at AJ Engineering. Working with SkillForce and DYW Moray, Jazmin Kellas, AJ Engineering’s quality manager and Alan Towns, the firm’s health and safety training co-ordinator joined representatives from EarthTime to visit students at Forres Academy and Moray College. Their policies may differ from this site.Alan and Jazmin (centre) with the young people they worked with.ĮMPLOYEES from AJ Engineering have been working with young people to help them understand what work opportunities are available to them and what skills are required.

Our goal is to understand the changes our planet has undergone over the past 4.56 billion years so as to better predict our future. We will combine this with an aggressive program of education and public outreach focused on both earth scientists as well as the general public. We propose to develop a cyberinfrastructure, the EarthTime Network, that will unite geochronology labs around the world in terms of analytical protocol and the reporting of standards so that we will eliminate or further reduce small systematic differences between labs and techniques. A necessary step in the further development of understanding earth history using high-precision geochronology is the establishment of a coordinated infrastructure and analytical facilities necessary for the achievement of high-resolution "sequencing" of at least the last 800 million years of earth history in the next decade. These differences by no means threaten the validity of the techniques but are a consequence of a level of precision never thought possible. With increased precision has come the opportunity to explore very small differences in time and small but systematic differences between laboratories and different geochronological techniques. Our ability to determine the age of rocks has improved dramatically over the past twenty years and calculated uncertainties have been reduced from about 1% to 0.1 %. Thus, to establish a detailed history of the planet we must integrate records from across the entire planet using a combination of the fossil record and the dating of rocks (geochronology). However, geological records in any one geographical area are incomplete.
