Undergraduate 2nd Place

Gabriel Goyannes

How does it feel to win?

It’s very gratifying for me to win because it shows that this work is important not only for me, but it’s interesting for other professionals. It also shows that the developed work deserved my effort.

What did you find the most interesting/challenging part of your project?

I think that the most interesting part of my project was to perform dynamic and cinematic analysis through information obtained from fractures in the sediments.

What/who inspired you to choose your subject/topic?

It inspired me to have lived close to glaciers (El Calafate) and moreover, I like the structural geology very much.

What do you hope to do next in your career?

I hope I will learn more about periglacial environment,to understand the deformation these sediments have suffered. I would also like to apply geophysical methods in my work area.

What do you love most about structural geology?

I love most to obtain stress fields through field or geophysical data.
