Guess where I will spend the next three years!
October 16, 2012 4 Comments
So this is official now. After finishing my Master’s degree I left Europe and moved to this beautiful country to pursue a PhD. Who knows, maybe there will become a scientist out of me eventually.
The next three years I will be working to understand the interaction between 3 principal agents - fluid, deformation and chemical reactions – operating in deep crustal environments, in conditions you get beneath the mountain belts when two continents collide. The project includes fieldwork, microscopy, experiments, and probably a bit of numerical modelling (depending if I’ll wake up my sleeping maths-genius). Also it looks like I am going to move around a bit as we do not have all the advanced equipment for my experiments on the place.
So guess the country and the city I am in now! As a hint, there is a logo of my new university at the right side of this post.
The winner will receive a limited-edition calendar for year 2013 featuring a collection of the best of my geology fieldwork pictures.
Update: The challenge is finished. The winner is B. Nelson
India? Two continents collide, and you can do the work above water? If you’re not in Europe, there’s not a lot of other choices left.
No, it is not India. I will leave that for another time (postdoc ?)

That’s right. It is Macquarie University in Sydney.
