The Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering would like to welcome its newest faculty member, Dr. Hom Nath Gharti.
Dr Gharti's research area encompasses applied mathematics and computational (geo)mechanics, including (an)elastic-gravitational wave propagation, coseismic deformation and post-earthquake relaxation, glacial isostatic adjustment, gravity/magnetic anomalies, microearthquakes...
The William E. White Postdoctoral Fellowship, created from a fund endowed by the estate of William E. White, will be awarded to an outstanding scientist who has completed a Ph.D. degree, normally within the two-year period preceding the time of the appointment.
The area of research is open, but the scholar’s research must be complementary to that being pursued in the Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering. The research program to be undertaken and the level of support of research costs and moving expenses will be negotiated with a faculty member at the time the award is made. Potential applicants may obtain an outline of current research interests on the Departmental website and are required to initiate contact with a potential faculty...
The GARNET program began in January 2020. This program was created to support the need for growth between young alumni and current students. The program provides a learning environment for career development and a way to reinforce the relationship between industry and academia.
Initially a few young alumni were contacted and invited to volunteer as mentors for a current student in the Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering. Each prospective mentor was asked which area of interest they would be most comfortable speaking to a mentee about. The current fourth year students (GEOLSCI and GEOE) were invited to participate in this program. Each student completed a form outlining their first, second and third choice of their area of interest. After review of the participation applications, mentees were matched with a mentor that best suited their interest!
Young alumni had a tremendous wiliness...
Congratulations to Dr. Jennifer Day on being awarded funds from the Queen's University Catalyst Fund. The goal of the Catalyst Fund is to enhance areas of research excellence that are of strategic importance to the University by giving scholars an opportunity to accelerate their research programs.This research project primarily supports two of the University’s Strategic Research Themes: Fundamental Principles of Nature: from Discovery to Application and Innovation, and Sustainability, Environment and Resources. There is also an interdisciplinary component that supports the Theme on Mobilizing Creativity and Enabling Cultures.
