2022.08.02
The Department of Earth Sciences is delighted to announce that our final year student Mr Yeung Kai Chi, Jason (Geology BSc, class of 2022) was presented with the first runner-up prize in the AGS (HK) Final Year Projects Competition held on July 27, 2022. Jason’s project was supervised by Dr Wong Ngai Yuen, Louis and co-supervised by Mr. Tony So of the Civil Engineering and Development Department, HKSAR Government. The scope was to calculate the volume of landslides using the data acquired in the territory-wide airborne LiDAR surveys conducted in 2010 and 2020. The findings provide insights on how remote sensing technology aids a faster and safer mapping of huge landslide bodies.
The AGS (HK) Final Year Projects Competition 2022 aims at
- recognizing excellence in the research carried out at the final year undergraduate level;
- providing a platform for graduating engineers/geologists to polish their skills in presentation and Question and Answer; and
- inspiring more undergraduates to carry out their final year projects in the fields of geotechnical/geological/geophysical/geo-environmental engineering.
Congratulations Jason!
