Lab Discovery Tour – Geoscience Trail

 

Coordinated by Marie-Modeste Vaeyens, Geneviève Hublet and Corentin Caudron, our set of outreach activities has been a great success. During the Printemps des Sciences, we have welcomed the future generation of geoscientists during a week. With the help of a pool of motivated PhD students, technicians, researchers and Professors, we have showed them what the IGEOS group (Glaciology, BGeOsys and G-Time) is investigating and… why! One more activity will take place in May during the ‘Tente Ta Science’ event.

New PhD student joining the group

Martanto from ITB and CVGHM (Indonesia) has started a PhD thesis on Machine Learning of volcano seismicity thanks to an ARES funding. Martanto will explore a bunch of volcano seismic data to improve earthquake detection and classification along the archipelago. This thesis will be made in close collaboration with both the ITB (Institut Teknologi Bandung; MOU signed last year) and the Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation. Karen Fontijn and our Begra will explore the Galunggung eruptive history during a field mission next month. Stay tuned!
