Jeoffrey Vervoort - guest researcher
The Department, the Center of Earth System Petrology and the AGiR (Aarhus Geochemsitry and Isotope Research) Platform welcome AUFF Distinguished Visiting Professor, Jeffery Vervoort, to Aarhus University.  Professor Vervoort is a radiogenic isotope geochemist and geochronologist with interest in the early Earth and how our planet has evolved through time.  Dr. Vervoort received his Ph.D. from Cornell University (USA), worked as a postgraduate researcher at the University of Arizona for several years and is currently at Washington State University where he is a full professor. Professor Vervoort has published over 140 peer-reviewed papers.  He is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America and American Geophysical Union, and has held over 20 research grants from the US National Science Foundation.  Professor Vervoort will be at Aarhus University through early December and will be giving a department colloquium in November, as well as, a series of workshops on the fundamentals of radiogenic isotope geochemistry and geochronology during the Fall semester.  Stay tuned for those announcements.  Dr. Vervoort’s office in located in the Earth System Petrology Clubhouse (3rd floor of 1672), if you are interested in talking with him.

Lasse Krogsgaard Prins - PhD student
I finished my master degree in geology at the department of geoscience in 2016,My thesis topic was Seismic geomorphology.
The Past year I worked as a scientific research assistant in a DHRTC (Danish Hydrocarbon Research and Technology Center) funded project called “The 3D Geotechnical Model”. The project aims at developing a geotechnical stratigraphy for the Danish Central Graben through existing engineering geophysical surveys and seismic interpretations.
As a Ph.D. student, I continue this project but with an added academic scope including an interpretation of Quaternary evolution in the area with a focus on buried valleys and their genetic processes. The Ph.D. project is also funded by the DHRTC

ERC Workshop with professor Carlos M. Duarte

A workshop on ERC applications with Professor Carlos M. Duarte, former member of the ERC Scientific Council, organised by the Science and Technology Research Committee.

A reminder – In the laboratories, samples and other objects often disappear. It is important that boxes, bags, shelves / cabinets or any items that are stored in custody rooms, refrigeration rooms and laboratories are labeled. The label must contain at least name, date and contact information. Unmarked items risk being moved/misplaced and often disappear.

New Laboratory technician - Marianne Lyngholm Nielsen is employed for one year (so far) from 1 November. Marianne has previously worked as a trainee and project researcher at Geoscience. A presentation will follow in a future newsletter.
