Latest news from Aarhus University to the staff

 

As of September 1 this year Esben Auken will be leaving the Department and the Aarhus University for the position of Vice-Director of GEUS.

For decades, Esben has been associated with the Department contributing to cutting-edge developments in hydrogeophysical research, applications and instrumentation. His work, in recent times as Professor in Hydrogeophysics and Head of the HydroGeophysics Group has made a major impact on geophysical applications in groundwater and geotechnical research across the world with obvious benefits to the societies in both developed and developing countries.

We congratulate Esben on his new, challenging position and wish him all the best in further promoting geoscience research in Denmark and abroad. We are sorry to see Esben leave but look forward to collaborating with him at GEUS and strengthening the scientific and educational ties between our institutions.

The University board of directors has decided that all shared drives and shared folders on the O-drive need to be renamed so they reflect our current new faculties.

All affected shared folder owners will receive a personal e-mail from the IT-support regarding how they should act in relation to their specific shared folders.
In case you have questions in this matter, you are most welcome to contact your local IT-support on aarhus.st.it@au.dk

In this connection, errors may have been made. If you find that your access to a building has disappeared from your access card, please contact the Secretariat.

From August 6 our partner at the Graduate School of Natural Sciences, Rikke J. Ljungmann, will be in our partner office, 1671-134, every Thursday from 12.30 to 14.30.

Please note that the department does NOT pay for washing and cleaning of clothes when guests are staying at a hotel at the department's expense.

In the Workshop hangs an air pump that can be used for the department's bicycle.

Help using the pump is available from Per Trinhammer.

The library has cleaned up the archives and has returned a lot of old photos to Geoscience.

If anyone should be interested in keeping the photos, you can contact the secretariat.
