Did you know that you, as an employee at AU, can buy a cheap Microsoft Office 365 program package for use on your private computer?

You can read more here.

Remember that it is your own responsibility to empty the bins in your office – both the one for residual waste and the one for paper.

In the past, some of you may have been used to the cleaning staff doing it but emptying them is your own responsibility. It is especially important to empty them regularly if you eat in your office. Food waste attracts flies,

Residual waste must be placed in the container in the parking lot.

The atmosphere was good in the studio when Søren Munch Kristiansen was a guest on the program Vildt Naturligt on P1 in weeks 42 and 43.

The hosts, who are both biologists, started out great with comparing Søren to Thomas Young, because he is very interdisciplinary in his research.

Søren had brought a small party game and quizzed the hosts about, among other things, the grim consequences of climate change, predation on natural areas and Denmark's last primeval bird.

Right now we are busy producing this year's Christmas calendar, and there is really something to look forward to!

This year the theme is "The Earth's history" and Stéphane Bodin is the star.

The Christmas calendar will run on our channels/profiles on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram throughout December with a new episode every day.

Unlike previous years, this year's Christmas calendar is in English so everyone can understand it.

Remember to follow along every day from December 1!

I am from a small town in Greece, called Kalabaka or Meteora. Following my high school graduation, I moved to Thessaloniki to pursue my undergraduate studies in Geology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where I successfully earned my degree in 2016. Subsequently, in 2018, I furthered my studies in the same department, where I obtained a Master's degree in Applied and Environmental Geology receiving qualifications in the subject of Applied Geophysics.

I remained actively involved in the field of geoscience as a Research Assistant at the Exploration Geophysics Laboratory within the Geophysics department at the School of Geology, Aristotle University Thessaloniki, from 2016 to 2019. During that time, I had the opportunity to participate in a range of geophysical projects related to groundwater exploration, saltwater intrusion, soil stability, contaminant remediation, and environmental site characterization. This hands-on experience greatly enriched my understanding of geophysics and its practical applications.

In 2019, I relocated to London, Canada to pursue a Ph.D. within the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Western University working on the geoelectrical characterization and monitoring of subsurface changes associated with remediation processes. I am pleased to share that I recently presented and successfully defended my doctoral research, marking a significant milestone in my academic and professional journey.

My decision to apply for a postdoctoral position within the HGG group in this department was, without a doubt, an easy one. I have long held an admiration for HGG's innovative approach to tackling diverse challenges, and I am genuinely thrilled at the prospect of collaborating with professionals in the field of geophysics.

I look forward to contributing my expertise and enthusiasm to the Department of Geoscience at Aarhus University and to HGG and am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. It's a pleasure to be part of this vibrant academic community.

My name is Ivan Vela, and I am from Spain. However, I have been living in Denmark since 2012.

I came here as an exchange student during my final year of environmental engineering. After that, I pursued a now-discontinued M.Sc.Eng. in Technical Geology at this very same institute.

Upon receiving my degree, I began working at Ejlskov, a small soil remediation company, where I established and subsequently led the R&D department for six years.

During my tenure, I gained extensive knowledge in electronics and mechanics and even patented a couple of inventions.

Despite these achievements, my desire to learn more persists. I believe the best way to do so is by surrounding myself with people who are more knowledgeable than I am. This is precisely what I aim to achieve in my new role as a development geophysicist here at Geoscience, HGG.
