News | Get into Geoscience Wales Over 40 budding young geoscientists attended the first Get into Geoscience Wales event at Aberystwyth University in October 2023, the latest offering from the award-winning GirlsIntoGeoscience initiative: geoscientist.online/sections/news/… #Geoscience #Outreach

It was a real pleasure having Lily and Kira back in college today. They talked to current students about their experiences studying Geology at Uni. From GiG, field trips, Uni life and advice for managing A-levels. GirlsIntoGeoscience Earth Sci @ Plymouth Liverpool Uni Earth Sciences Holy Cross (Bury)

4 weeks until GIG24 kick-starts! In the coming weeks we will be introducing a host of speakers and workshops taking place, as well as showcasing the location of our fabulous fieldtrip! Watch this space for news and updates and get ready for some GIG excitement!

One week to go until #GiG24! The event will kickstart with a fieldtrip to see the coastal geology of Sandway Cellar, Kingsands. We will be looking at Devonian and Permian rocks to understand the processes of their formation. Meeting at 9 sharp, so get your walking boots ready!

The evening of 8th July will see #GiG24 at the icebreaker event at The Stable! This is a great opportunity to meet and network with other students, whilst also having some fabulous food! Looking forward to seeing you all there next week!

Introducing the first speaker of #GiG24: Hollie Fisher! Hollie is an engineering geologist who has been at AtkinsRéalis for almost 10 years, focusing on water and energy projects. Tune in on 9 July for her talk University of Plymouth!

Our second speaker of #GiG24 is Lara Mani, a Senior Research Associate at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER). She specialises her research in volcanic risk and the systemic hazards they pose to humanity. Look out for her talk on 9 July University of Plymouth!

Our final guest speaker of #GiG24 is Dr. Lucia Perez Diaz, a Senior Geodynamics Specialist at Neftex, Halliburton! She is currently working as a computational geodynamicist in Oxford. To see her talk titled 'Code, Create, Communicate' be there on 9 July University of Plymouth!

Following the talks from our guest speakers, we will have a Q&A panel session. This is a great place where everyone is welcome to ask anything they are curious about or want to know more about! Directly after the talks, it will be chaired by Sarah Boulton of University of Plymouth!

Dr Michelle Harris will be hosting the next workshop on black smoker hydrothermal vents! You will go beneath the seafloor, down to the microscopic level to find out what makes a black smoker hydrothermal vent and how seawater transforms into acidic fluids. See you there! #GiG24

Did you know we have only mapped 20% of the global ocean? Dr Jenny Gales is here to teach us about how bathymetry is collected and how to understand seafloor maps, improving our knowledge of the oceans. Submarine volcanoes, landslides and canyons will be revealed University of Plymouth! #GiG24

Dr Jodie Fisher will be looking at microfossils and climate in our next workshop! Microscopic shells can be used to reconstruct past environments and changes in global climate, so come and get hands on experience looking at deep-sea sediments through microscopes University of Plymouth! #GiG24

The final workshop of #GiG24 will see you travelling to Hokkaido, Japan after the earthquake of September 2018! You will be using historic satellite imagery to evaluate the impacts on the landscapes and communities. With Professor Anne Mather University of Plymouth on 9 July - don't miss it!

Following the workshops we will have a Student and Staff University Life Q&A session chaired by Dr Jodie Fisher. A great opportunity to meet current geoscience students and ask any questions you might have! #GiG24

Quick fieldtrip update! Unfortunately the weather is still looking a little changeable. But don’t worry! The trip is still going ahead and we have contingencies for dry space to work in if it rains. See you all at the meeting point tomorrow at 9am, and don’t forget waterproofs!

Wow! Another GiG over, and what a year! Even the rain didn't stop the girls enjoying fieldwork in Cornwall, pizza on the waterfront, and a day of careers and workshops. Thanks to everyone who came, our fantastic speakers, our ambassadors, and of course the GiG team. C U in 2025!
