Wir laden ein zu einem besonderen Geo-Kolloquium am Mittwoch, den 25.10.2023 im Hörsaal 1550 der Geowissenschaften. Unsere Gäste aus Kolumbien - 15 Studierende und Prof. Dr. Aldo Rincon von der Universidad del Norte, Barranquilla - bieten verschiedene kleinere Gastvorträge (ca. 20 Minuten) an zu unserer Kolloquiumszeit 12:15 bis ca. 14 Uhr. Die Vorträge im Einzelnen:

Alanis Osorio: "Millions of Years in a Cup: The Geology behind the famous Colombian Coffee" We make a tour through the geology of Colombia and climate while analyzing how these characteristics are related to the rock cropping out in Colombia. Our geographic location influences the soil quality in which we plant our delicious and famous coffee.

Alanis Osorio and Jhon Hernández: "Energy transition: Colombia’s role in renewables energies" Within the framework of the transition from CO2 producing technologies to renewable energies generation other than fossil fuels, Colombia has a large potential as a pioneer country in terms of electricity production through natural resources. We make a summary of all the methods used in Colombia.

Juan Camilo Perdomo: "San Agustin statues: A bridge between the ancestry and the geology around the Colombian massif " Any journey into Colombia´s ancestral origins takes you to the Colombian Massif, a mysterious region of impressive landscapes, green valleys and volcanoes. Enigmatic lost cultures left messages pointing to ancient sacred rivers. An archaeological area near San Agustín (Southern Colombia) has statues which rarity impacts the tourists while record pre-Columbian cultures. These cultures inhabited an ancestral territory with a volcanic tuff geological history used for constructing the statues.

Prof. Dr. Aldo Rincón: "The scientific method as a tool for outreach in northern Colombia" Artistic and hands-on outreach activities applied to mining communities near Barranquilla (Colombia) open an opportunity for geoconservation of paleontological heritage. Fossils, or symbols of an ancient landscape, are part of the geological heritage and are protected by Decree 1353/2018 of the Colombian Geological Survey (SGC).

Wir möchten Sie herzlich bitten, sich diesen Termin im Kalender zu reservieren und, wenn möglich, zu der Veranstaltung zu erscheinen, um unseren Gästen ein gutes Auditorium zu bieten.
