The very first I’m a Geoscientist goes live for two weeks from 16th to 27th June 2014. We’ll be running the Earth Zone, five scientists and 21 schools, spread over four continents taking part.

Let’s take a look at the schools and scientists taking part this June in the Earth Zone!
The Scientists
Rehemat Bhatia | PhD Student at University College London, UK
“Studying tiny fossils with big climate stories to tell.”
Jesse Davenport | PhD Student at Centre de Recherches Petrographiques et Geochimiques, France
“My work deals with investigating the role of weathering and erosion of Himalayan rivers, sediments and rocks and its effects on climate change and tectonics.”
Denise de Gaetano | PhD Student at University of Ulster, Northern Ireland
“I am a seismologist and science communicator, who combines music and earthquakes.”
Daniel Lao Davila | Lecturer at Oklahoma State University, USA
“I study how mountains and earthquakes form at the boundaries of tectonic plates.”
Anna Rabitti | PhD Student at NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea, Netherlands
“I am studying waves deep inside the ocean. These waves are probably (we don’t know yet!) responsible of many processes in our oceans and climate, but also in the interior of stars and far away planets, where exactly the same kind of waves exists.”
