Welcome to a Cosmos Insights podcast, where we talk to scientists in Australia about the impact of their work.

At some point on a TV documentary, an internet video or even a school textbook, you've probably seen animation or still images of the earth's surface changing over time: from one massive content hundreds of millions of years ago to the surface we know today.

Today, Cosmos journalist Matthew Agius talks to Dr Tristan Salle, whose team from the University of Sydney - working with French scientists from Institut des Science de la Terre - have now, for the first time, modelled and produced high resolution representations of the way millions of years of sediment flows from land to the ocean took place, and how the features of today's land masses were created.
