About us

I am Stalyn Paucar from Quito, Ecuador and I am a student of Geology at the Central University of Ecuador. Currently I do new editions and translations to Spanish of literature about the Geology of Ecuador. These edited and translated resources are open-access and are available in the Internet Archive repository @stalynpaucar.

Colombian geoscientist, with expertise in Environmental Geology and Public Policy focused on earth sciences with interest in developing activities related to research projects in environmental geology and renewable energy, analysis and interpretation of geochemical data and integrated risk management. Lover of movies and fiction books, trekking and coffee.

I am Paul Christian Yang-ed, a registered geologist based in the Philippines. I currently serve as an in-house geologist-lecturer and director for research and development at Laniakea Ventures, an educational consultancy startup. My job takes me from school to school, where I share the wonders of Earth and Space Science with students. Before my current role, I authored textbooks on Earth Science and Disaster Risk Reduction and worked in research and communications for an environmental nonprofit organization. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Geology in 2017 from the University of the Philippines-Diliman. My key fields of interest include Planetary Geology, Volcanology, Chronostratigraphy, Environmental Geology, and Science education.

I am a Green Journalist Consultant based in Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In addition, I am a Tetea Mazingira Podcaster on Natural Resources Governance and a mobile filmmaker. I foster the rights of marginalized groups of people including the right to information of children.

I am Mukhtiar Ghani, a dynamic Geologist from Pakistan, holding both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Geology from the University of Peshawar. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Structural Geology and Tectonics at the University of Göttingen, Germany, with a focus on the "Spatio-temporal evolution of the western Indian plate boundary region." My background in Geology includes diverse roles such as Assistant Director and Assistant Geophysicist at the Geological Survey of Pakistan (GSP). I have also served as a Trainee Geologist at the Oil and Gas Development Company in Islamabad and worked as a Research Associate at NCE in Geology, University of Peshawar. My extensive field experience spans across Pakistan and Europe, contributing to various projects in hydrocarbon, coal, water exploration, and mineral exploration. In my role as Assistant Director (Planning and Information) at GSP, I actively participated in inter-ministerial coordination related to natural resources and facilitated international collaborations with RCD countries. Notably, I co-organized two international webinars addressing water and climate change issues in the South Asian region. In the academic realm, I have showcased my prowess as a researcher, with numerous publications in reputable journals. Additionally, I serve as a referee for various academic journals and have organized notable webinar series, including "Indus River Water System" and "Siwalik Stratigraphy."

I am a final-year geology student at the University of Namibia. My interest in science communication arose from the drastic climate changes I have observed in my country in recent years. Therefore, I would like to take the opportunity as a young reporter to raise my voice on this issue. In my opinion, the best solution to the problems we are facing with climate change is to make people understand by educating them through outreach activities.  For me, the IUGS young reporters is the right platform to share my ideas on climate change in my country and to hear from others around the world.

As a dedicated and passionate individual with a deep love for geosciences, I have a strong commitment to promoting awareness of Nigeria's captivating geology while shedding light on the natural disasters that my country face. I am also passionate about using research and education to positively influence the community and to contribute meaningfully to environmental preservation and disaster mitigation efforts in Nigeria. Also, I am an avid sports lover and I enjoy coding in my spare time.

I am Parminder Kaur, Ph.D. student (CSIR-SRF) at Department of Geology, Panjab University, Chandigarh. I am pursuing my research in the field of igneous petrology. I am working on the mineralogy and petrographic studies of potassic alkaline intrusions in Jharia basin, Jharkhand, India. I am also interested in the natural stones utilized in the heritage monuments of India. As a young geoscience reporter, my aim is to raise awareness about geoscience amongst the society.

I am a geoscientist (Ph.D.) passionate about using Geosciences' communication and education to foster and promote awareness, enjoyment, and literacy of Geosciences in society. As an educator and researcher in science communication, I thrive on developing innovative scicomm projects and exploring the impact of digital science communication tools in the Geosciences, reaching diverse audiences. As a co-manager of a Geosciences Scicomm platform, GeoLchat, I oversee the creation of multimedia science-communication content for social media platforms, catering to audiences in both English and Spanish.
