This summer holiday I participated in the summer school “Explore Planet Earth, Its Hazards, Resources and Environmental Change” in Hong Kong University. During the summer school, I learnt about “Earth Materials”– minerals and rocks, appreciating their uses on our daily life; I also studied about other fascinating topics including plate tectonics, climate change, natural hazards and natural resources. We also investigated the natural resources and landslide in Hong Kong through virtual field trip. A virtual museum visit to the Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change, CUHK deepended our insights into the climate change. Meanwhile, we also had the chance to learn about the current research carrying out by fellows and phd students in the Earth Science Department in Hong Kong University. One phd students, Howard, shared us about his work reconstructing past sea level, which I was greatly interested in. After the lecture, I discussed with him about their choices of sites to take the sediment core samples through email, such as what factors they may consider when choosing the site of drilling cores. I was so pleased to further my insights into the methodologies used in the practical research.
Finally, at the end of the summer school, all of the participants are required to deliver a presentation from a specific topic related to earth science. I decided to investigate the topic of volcanic eruption which I found really interesting. It’s my honor that my presentation was highly appreciated by the tutors.
In this blog I would like to post my certificate as well as my powerpoint slide for the volcano presentation.
