GeoTalk: meet Sinelethu Hashibi, a geologist translating geoscience for isiXhosa-speaking communities!

Hello Sinelethu! Thank you for joining this edition of GeoTalk. Could you introduce yourself and your background? Thank you for inviting me! I am Sinelethu Hashibi, from the Eastern Cape in South Africa. Currently, I am working on my PhD in mantle geochemistry at the University of Cape Town. I am particularly interested in the chemical and thermal structure of the lithospheric mantle, and how that ...[Read More]

GeoTalk: meet Gino de Gelder, researcher of the link between tectonics, sea-level rise & coral reefs!

Hello Gino! Welcome to GeoTalk. Could you tell our readers a little bit about yourself and your background? Sure thing! My background is mostly in tectonics, geomorphology and the evolution of (active) fault systems, which I developed during my studies at Utrecht University and my PhD at the IPGP (Paris). Initially I focused on the way that coastlines record either uplift or subsidence in response ...[Read More]

Andreas Kvas

Hello Andreas. Welcome to GeoTalk! You’re a specialist in Geodesy, and your research surveys the Earth’s spatial and gravitational properties as they relate to climate change. Could you tell us more about how Geodesy can help us understand climate change? Geodesy studies Earth’s geometric shape, orientation in space, and gravity field. Each of these components changes in time and is af ...[Read More]
