Overview of the Research Project
We are investigating the weathering of rocks and the transport properties within rocks. In particular, we are using borehole cores to study the changes in rock properties from the unweathered part deep underground to the weathered part near the surface.
Enrollment Capacity
We are looking for one student in The IDEC Institute 3+1 Program to participate in our research (participation period is negotiable).
The outcomes of your participation will be compiled into a graduation thesis to be submitted to your university.
Additional Requirements
In addition to the program application requirements outlined in the application guidelines, applicants must meet the following criterion:
(1) Relevant Knowledge:
Applicants must have bachelor's-level knowledge of earth science, especially rocks and minerals.
