Seismologists are a special breed because, basically, all we do is watch the line. Any resemblance to the similar-sounding song by Johnny Cash is strongly intended. Dr. Richard Alley, Evan Pugh Professor of Geosciences at the Pennsylvania State University, takes a humorous musical look at why seismologists are important in our world. It is a pity that his videos haven't attracted more viewers

Unfortunately, this is just my second blog entry in the series of questions from a student in more than one year (read #1), but looking back at all the developments since fall 2010, it has been getting really difficult to actually spend time on the basic questions in every student's life. I still have them, but they have taken a back seat. However, I have come across a central question time and

In addition to the presentation of my experience as a student in the actual blog you are reading right now, I also want to share some of my sources of energy, which is the reason why I created additional web pages with motivational videos and inspirational quotes earlier this year. The feedback to these additional pages shows that it was a good decision to create them because several people told

It's winter term 2011/12 and I'm coming closer to the end of my graduate studies at Freie Universität Berlin. I've already gained all necessary credit points which means I could fully concentrate on my master's thesis now. However, the question of what to do and where to go after graduation had been lingering on my mind for almost one year and it was a really tough decision because I knew that

Last weekend I had a look at my notes from high school to make some room for my new university notes from this year. This earth-shadowing news alone would be worth a tweet for many people these days, but definitely not a blog entry for me. However, I came across this Geography class test about seismology from some seven years ago. I've totally forgotten about doing seismology in such "detail" in

This blog entry actually could be about any topic because its message is universal, but at least at first view it's about football. Today's professional football seems to be all about money because for many people it's a big business. I don't consider this to be a negative thing in general, but I always get annoyed when I see any half-baked football talent driving sports cars and acting like he's

Are you? While I constantly enjoy and promote the advantages of Web 2.0 applications for students and young professionals, it took me quite some time to realize the valuable advice of some of my industry connections who had told me that I should join LinkedIn in order to enhance my networking opportunities and gear myself up for the career highway. However, in the end it was one of my dear SGS

Even though it's only July and we've got five more months to go in 2011, I dare to say that I spent the best week of this year at the 2nd International Geociences Student Conference (IGSC) and at the SEG/ExxonMobil Student Education Program 2011 from July 8 to July 14 in Kraków, Poland. I associate my time in Kraków with so many strong emotions, wonderful people and valuable experience that it is

With the beginning of this month I became a sponsored student member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. The AAPG is the world's largest professional geological society with over 30,000 members and fosters scientific research in the fields of geology and technology. The AAPG student membership is my third affiliation with a major international geoscientific society after SEG and

From May 23 to May 26, the beautiful capital of Austria, Vienna, and main sponsor OMV hosted the 73rd EAGE Conference & Exhibition incorporating SPE EUROPEC. And I was there, too.

You may actually be surprised by this blog entry because unlike in my other blog entries I don't want to talk about my motivation or my career. It's easy to talk about confidence, success and how to live up to leadership expectations, but this time I strike a rather calm note and cover an almost philosophical topic. Last week, I once again came across a song which inspires me to the fullest

Today I attended another lecture on sedimentary petrography. Besides the actual learning matter about sandstones, my sedimentology professor (I dedicated that blog entry to him.) adverted to a very interesting website about interviews with really famous geologists and some geophysicists like Bob Folk and Leon Thomsen. The website is called miniGEOLOGY.com and I've been spending the spare time

I'm sitting on my balcony and it's a lovely Good Friday. Sun is shining and the manifold colors of nature reconquer the grey in the streets and in the parks day by day. Spring successfully revives Berlin and also life at my university. The lecture period of this year's summer term started two weeks ago. For me, this summer term comes along with a totally new feeling. I've officially completed my

In the view of the catastrophes which have devastated Japan and cause the Japanese people such abysmal suffering, it's really hard to find the right words to tell you what is going on in my little, relatively unimportant career. Even though I'm a scientist and my thinking is bound to the laws of physics, I've believed in some kind of bigger power, some kind of idea controlling the gears within

Let me give you a short review on my last blog entry. I really appreciate all the positive responses I have received this week. They show me that it was the right decision to go on the offensive. I hope that I've already succeeded in igniting the fire in some of you. In my last blog entry, I used the power of words. In contrast, this time I simply want to rely on the power of pictures.

Happy new year! It's 2011 and I hear the graduation clock ticking because the final calendar year of my studies at Freie University Berlin has begun and I've got big plans to realize. But before I'll come to my actual plans, I'd like to address something which has been on my mind for quite some time. There are some people out there who consider me to be a nerd without a life. In fact, such rumors

I'm back in Berlin and I'm really fine, but it took me more than three weeks to find some quiet moment because the new semester kick-started and November is really busy, too. Nonetheless, I want to dedicate this blog entry to my trip to the SEG/Chevron Student Leadership Symposium 2010. And it's worth it because the week in Denver was such an amazing experience I really want to share with you.

Winter Term 2010/11 is about to begin but before I'm going to take courses in my 4th year at Freie University Berlin, I have the honor to represent the Student Geophysical Society Berlin in my capacity as a SEG Student Chapter Officer at this year's SEG/Chevron Student Leadership Symposium (SLS) in Denver, Colorado.

In the course of my studies, I've come across some questions which I've thought about a lot but never really asked openly. Now, starting the final year of my university studies, I finally want to share some of my thoughts especially with those of you who still have some semesters to go. This blog entry is just the first one of a loose series of such questions. Some of them might be more or less

It's actually semester break but I spent twelve awesome days on two field trips to Bavaria and Lower Saxony to finalize my bachelor studies. On the first field trip, I went to a region in the east of Bavaria called Upper Palatinate (Oberpfalz) with six other geophysics students of Freie Universitaet Berlin to conduct geomagnetic, gravimetric, geoelectric and self-potential measurements.

Those of you who followed by blog back in 2009 might have read my blog entry on writing applications for my first internship. Today, I'd like to reflect on some things that I've learned in the scope of my internship because I consider this to be useful information for everyone who is about to apply for an internship. Originally, I had planned to do the internship after my 4th term in summer

Statistics say that 95 percent of all blogs don't survive their first three months. My blog's (first) life lasted at least eight months. However, it's been more than fourteen months since my last blog entry. I don't want to explain the reasons that brought me into this absence but I'm very glad to revive my blog with this new entry and a brand-new design. I hope you like it. I took some time to

The fourth semester of my bachelor studies began nearly one and a half months ago in the middle of April but I definitely want to overview my courses and what I've experienced so far. After I had come back from my two field trips to Hesse, I was snowed under with work (the mapping report and the poster) but I also was looking forward to the beginning of the next semester. Even though stress has

This is the 5th and also last part of my whole photo shower. After sixteen days of field work it was finally time to come home again. Before we went back to Berlin, we made one last detour to Eisenach, Thuringia. The town's landmark is the Wartburg Castle which is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and world-famous because it's the place where Martin Luther translated the New Testament into

In part 4, I want to share some impressions of the site where we recorded the second stratigraphic profile. It's an old quarry (Steinbruch Schuchardt) near Cornberg, Hesse. Today, it's used for open-air concerts.This photo shows half of our group having lunch break on sandstones at an artificial lake right in the middle of the old quarry. On the left side you see a ballustrade and a boardwalk.

In part 3, I finally show you something about an outcrop I really know about. It's located close to a small village called Neuerode north of Eschwege, Hesse. We spent one and a half days at this outcrop called "Grillhütte Neuerode". Grillhütte means barbecue cottage.The outcrop is an old limestone quarry (like so many we saw at our field trip). Even though it was our choice to work at this one,

Again, I have to apologize for such a long period of absence. I know, I say it too often but the last weeks were really really busy because I had to finish the mapping report and a poster of the work on one of the stratigraphic profiles of my third field trip. My "problem" is that I always work in a way that I can hand in my workings at the closing date. Others don't. But that is a different

After I had spent twelve great days on field mapping, it was time to say goodbye. Most of the students and the two academics went back home but eight students including me went just to the next five day geological field trip to Witzenhausen, Hesse, Germany. Whereas Adorf is in the northwest of Hesse some 50 kilometers to the west of Kassel, Witzenhausen is quite on the other side of Kassel in the

I've found some more photos I want to share with you.That's the 'Martenbergklippe' northeast of Adorf. It was a gubbin quarry some decades ago but today it's a natural monument and a great example of sedimentation on a subaquatic volcano.Those photos show my two 'geophysical comrades-in-arms' when we were walking through a snow storm over a field to the next hill.

In the second part of the report on my first field mapping, I want to show you some photos of our mapping area.Most hills are afforested, whereas the valleys are mainly farmed. The small village in the photo is Benkhausen (162 residents) which was right in the center of our mapping area and the only place where we met some people from time to time.Unfortunately, most of our mapping area and

For my first field mapping, I went with 22 other students and two academics to a small village called Adorf which is part of the borough Diemelsee, Hesse, Germany. In the run-up to the field trip, I was not sure about what to expect but several other students told me that field mapping had been their best field trip ever. So, I was eager to find out on my own.This field trip was scheduled for

I'm finally back in Berlin, back in 'real' civilization. Berlin still appears a bit too noisy to me but that's only because Northern Hesse is just so rural and calm. So, it took me quite some time to find a moment to take care of my blog again.However, I've got a lot to write about. On my two field trips I've gained a lot of experience I want to share with you.

Starting next Tuesday, I'm going to participate in my second geological field trip. All in all, I'm going to stay seventeen days in Northern Hesse, Germany. Actually, I'm talking about two geological field trips but thanks to the time scheduling of my academics I can combine both of them to one big field trip. The first twelve days will be field mapping in the easternmost part of the Sauerland in

I had wanted to join some kind of geoscientific society or union for several months. Last week, I finally decided to apply for membership of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geowissenschaften (German Geoscientific Society) which is the biggest German geoscientific society and has emerged from the oldest one. The great thing about its student membership is that the first two years are free of cost.So

Even though I don't have to attend any lectures or other university stuff these days, I'm still stressed out. I've been enjoying nearly two weeks of recreation now but at the same time I'm busy with writing applications for my upcoming internship in summer.

Having passed half the way to my bachelor degree, it's time to keep myself busy with writing applications for my upcoming internship in summer. However, I also gonna have a lot of free time during the next four weeks and I really need some moments of recreation because my own battery

I´m really sorry that it has been so quiet here for the last two weeks but I´m totally stressed out by my exams these days. I´ve already written two exams this week and there are another five (!) to come next week.However, I´ve got something very interesting for my German-speaking followers. In December 2008, I authored a blog entry on my work at the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ)

In October 2008, I started this blog about my way to becoming a geophysicist. I entitled it "A Long Way To Go" because I was just at the beginning of my academic career. Even though I had chosen an English title, I decided to start my blog in German. I hadn´t had any blog before and I just wanted to get used to the whole blog thing. Now, some three months later, I´m still at the beginning of my

Vielleicht ist einigen schon aufgefallen, dass nun viele Bereiche meines Blogs auf Englisch sind. Diese Veränderung wird fortan auch meine Beiträge betreffen. Bereits zum Start meines Blogs gab es Gedanken ihn auf Englisch zu führen, jedoch wollte ich mich zunächst einmal ans Bloggen herantasten. Aber jetzt ist es soweit.Den Blog auf Englisch zu führen, hat für mich mehrere Vorteile. Einerseits

Auf dem Heimweg von der Uni lauschte ich heute in der Straßenbahn einer Unterhaltung zwischen Mutter und Sohn. Als die Straßenbahn an einer größeren Baugrube vorbeifuhr, fragte der Sohn die Mutter, wo man denn herauskäme, wenn man das Loch immer und immer tiefer graben würde. Die Mutter antwortete: "Na in China." Davon abgesehen, dass mir als Geowissenschaftler da gleichzeitig gewisse Fragen in

Ich wollte mich für eine Sedimentologie-Übung zur Auswertung von Siebsatz-Daten etwas in Sachen Sand schlau machen. Beim Lesen stieß ich dabei auf den Begriff Bremssand mit einem zugehörigen Photo, was ich sehr beeindruckend finde. Wahrscheinlich hat das jeder von uns schon einmal gesehen aber nie wirklich wahrgenommen.Das Photo zeigt einen bremsenden ICE. Bei der Staubwolke handelt es sich nicht

Zwar gibt es im Studium immer wieder Momente, wo ich von Photos oder neuen Themen begeistert bin, weil ich sie bisher nicht kannte oder weil sie einfach sehr interessant sind, doch selten sitze ich fasziniert und andächtig da und genieße das, was ich sehe und höre. Letzte Woche war einmal wieder so ein Moment.Als ich Anfang Oktober 2007 zur Einführungsveranstaltung unseres Fachbereiches für die

Heute möchte ich mal nichts zu meinem Studium sagen - morgen geht es übrigens wieder los - sondern etwas zeigen, wovon ich heute in der Zeitung zum ersten Mal Bilder gesehen habe und was mich sehr beeindruckt hat.Es handelt sich um eine Höhle in Mexiko, in der riesige Gipskristalle gewachsen sind. Die Kristalle konnten so groß werden, weil die Höhle sehr lange unter Wasser stand und erst von

In den letzten Wochen kam ich leider erst gar nicht zu ein paar ruhigen Minuten, um einen neuen Beitrag zu schreiben. Viel zu sehr war ich mit der wöchentlichen Abgabe diverser Mathe-, Sedimentologie-, Hydrogeologie- und Karte-Übungen beschäftigt. Dazu kamen noch zwei Klausuren sowie ein Termin am GFZ. Doch jetzt endlich sind bei mir ruhigere Tage eingekehrt und ich kann mich wieder meinem Blog

Heute möchte ich ein wenig von meinem Studium abschweifen und eine mir mittlerweile sehr wichtige Tätigkeit vorstellen.Bei einer Exkursion im Rahmen des Moduls Erde II habe ich im letzten Sommer das Deutsche GeoForschungsZentrum auf dem Telegrafenberg in Potsdam besucht.Neben den aufgrund der guten finanziellen Unterstützung möglichen Forschungsprojekten am GFZ beeindruckte mich vor allem die

In der letzten Sedimentologie-Übung haben wir sedimentäre Strukturen an verschiedenen Gesteinen untersucht. Da ich davon einige Photos gemacht habe, möchte ich euch diese zeigen.Sedimentäre Strukturen können u.a. Hinweise auf Die Orientierung des Gesteins - wo ist oben und wo ist unten - sowie die Strömungsrichtung oder den Ablagerungsraum geben.Die Wellen-artigen Strukturen nennt man Rippeln und

Es ist mal wieder Wochenende und ich habe ein wenig Zeit gefunden, meinen Blog fortzuführen. Wie versprochen möchte ich heute die Veranstaltungen, die ich im aktuellen Wintersemester besuche, etwas näher beleuchten, was jedoch keineswegs in eine Art Vorlesung ausarten soll.Vor Geochemie hatte ich im Vorfeld ein wenig Angst, weil ich seit der 11. Klasse kein Chemie mehr hatte und in Chemie auch

Die Vergangheit ist aufgearbeitet und endlich bin ich mit meinem Blog im Hier und Jetzt angekommen. Meine Erlebnis- und Erfahrungsberichte beziehen sich fortan auf deutlich aktuellere Dinge und Projekte. Auch kann ich nun intensiver über Themen erzählen, die mir im Studium begegnen und mich zum Denken anregen. Ich bin selbst sehr gespannt, wie es weitergeht.Aufgrund des physikalischen

Es gibt noch eine kleine Zugabe...Meinen Überblick über mein erstes Studienjahr möchte ich mit ein paar Worten zum physikalischen Grundpraktikum, welches ich von August bis Oktober 2008 gemacht habe, abschließen.Laut dem Studienverlaufsplan steht das für alle Physiker, Meteorologen und Geophysiker verbindliche physikalische Grundpraktikum für uns Geophysiker erst im vierten Semester an, doch dann

Ist der Großteil des Studiums doch eher theoretischer Natur, so sind es die außergewöhnlichen Momente, die in Erinnerung bleiben. Dazu zählen zweifelsohne Geländepraktika im Kontrast zu Vorlesungen, Übungen und Seminaren.Im Rahmen des Moduls Erde I muss man an einem Geländepraktikum teilnehmen, welches die zuvor in der Vorlesung und den Übungen gelernten Sachverhalte am "lebenden" Objekt

Um den Studienanfängern möglichst schnell einen guten Überblick über ihr zukünftiges Arbeitsfeld zu geben, ist es naheliegend im ersten Semester vielfältige Themen zu lehren und abzufragen.Während dies bei uns am Fachbereich der Geologischen Wissenschaften vor allem mit Erde I auch so praktiziert wird, wird man als Physik-Erstsemester ins kalte Wasser geschmissen. Obwohl viele Dinge bereits im

Bisher geht es hauptsächlich um die Organisation des Studiums, was vielleicht etwas trocken klingen mag. Dies ist jedoch die Hauptherausforderung zu Beginn des Studiums. Man muss diese Welt mit ihrem Aufbau und ihren Regeln gut verstehen, um sich in ihr zurechtzufinden.Beim BSc Geologische Wissenschaften an der FU Berlin kann man zwischen zwei Betonungen wählen. Neben einer

Obwohl ich ja bereits im dritten Semester bin aber schon so umfangreich über meine Vorüberlegungen und Motivationsgründe ausgeholt habe, möchte ich mein erstes Studienjahr natürlich nicht ganz auslassen.Gerade am Anfang, nach neun Jahren Gymnasium und dreizehn Jahren Schule insgesamt, ist der Übergang zum Studentenleben doch eine große Veränderung im Leben eines jungen Menschen. Wird man in der

Wenn man nun weiß, was ich mache, stellt sich natürlich auch die Frage, warum ich es mache.Im letzten Jahr vorm Abitur - das ist jetzt zwei Jahre her - fiel bei vielen meiner Schulkameraden die Entscheidung, welchen Beruf sie erlernen möchten. Obwohl ich ein guter und zukunftsbewusster Schüler war, wusste ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch nicht, was ich werden wollte. Weil ich bei den anderen sah, wie

Wenn ich gefragt werde, was ich studiere und ich "Geologische Wissenschaften mit Vertiefungsrichtung Geophysik" antworte, erhalte ich meistens ungläubige oder fragende Blicke.Wenn ich dann mit "Geologie" nachlege, enstehen sofort Assoziationen zu allen möglichen Dingen mit "Stein", was man aber niemandem verübeln kann. Versuche ich allerdings zu erklären, was ein Geophysiker macht, so erhalte ich

Es ist naheliegend einen Blog mit einer interessanten oder lustigen Anekdote zu beginnen oder den Leser mit Zitaten weiser Männer zu gewinnen. Ehrlich gesagt, habe ich dies bei einem älteren Versuch einen Blog zu starten auch so praktiziert. Doch letztendlich gewinnt ein Blog Qualität und Leser durch seine Beständigkeit und die Entwicklungs des Bloggers. Ich versuche diesem Anspruch gerecht zu
