Home / Education / Educational resources / Magma detectives: studying volcanic arcs to find valuable minerals in Earth’s crust
Show your students how researchers are probing deep into the Earth’s crust to find out how molten rocks form, evolve and produce ores. Included is a summary of a current research project and an interview with Professor Jamie Wilkinson. The activity sheet includes discussion points (questions that students can answer in groups or individually) and an activity that introduces the rock cycle using chocolate! Go back

Michael von Papen ST Solar-Terrestrial Sciences The 2014 Outstanding Student Poster (OSP) Award is awarded to Michael von Papen for the poster/PICO entitled: Evaluation of reduced power spectra from three-dimensional k-space (von Papen, M.; Saur, J.) Michael von Papen is a PhD student at the Institute of Geophysics and Meteorology at the University of Cologne in Germany. His research focuses on turbulence in Saturn’s magnetosphere for which he developed a tool to evaluate reduced power spectra for a given energy distribution in k-space.

Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards / 2017 / Annette Bösmeier
After my masters degree in Geology with a focus on rock avalanches, I have continued my studies in the intriguing field of natural hazards and specialized on Historical Climatology and quantitative historical hydrology. I am currently part of the interdisciplinary, Franco-German project TRANSRISK2 which explores the flood history and changes of vulnerability and risk perception within the Upper and Middle Rhine area.

In this work he developed the first observer independent and process-based metrics for snow instability, applied it to extensive field data collected in an alpine catchment above Davos, Switzerland. This PICO presentation highlights the mapping of snow instability based on external drift kriging with snow and terrain related covariate data.
