The GeoPitch

The GeoPitch: Fast-Paced Presentations from University Students and Early Career Geoscientists –
Thursday 16 September: 2.15 pm to 3.45 pm

 The AEGC 2021 will, for the first time, host an afternoon of fast-paced 3-minute presentation, held concurrently to the rest of the conference proceedings. The GeoPitch is open to all students and Early Career geoscientists to present their research, project work, and new ideas related to Earth Science. For 2021, we are proud to have 13 presenters from 5 states send in their pre-record GeoPitch’s. All presenters will be available live & online for a Q&A discussion following their recordings. All conference delegates are encouraged to attend the event.

The aim of this event is two-fold. It provides a unique industry-level platform, giving students and Early Career professionals an exciting opportunity to develop their science communication skills, presenting their work to a broad scientific audience. In addition, the GeoPitch gives conference delegates a sneak-peak into the cutting-edge areas of research and work undertaken by our future leaders!
