APGO Education Foundation Makes a Difference from Mars and Australia to Museums and PhDs
By Kristin Hanson, P.Geo., Director
APGO Education Foundation scholarships have made a big difference in launching the careers of some of our recipients. The scholarship Selection Committee is always impressed with the qualifications of applicants, so we checked in to find out what our 2016 to 2018 scholarship recipients were up to today. We are pleased to share the accomplishments of these geoscientists so far. They are still early in their careers, but if they represent the future of geoscience, we are certain that the future is bright.

Climate change may have driven the emergence of SARS-CoV-2
University of Cambridge
A new study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment provides the first evidence of a mechanism by which climate change could have played a direct role in the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic.

A 'ground-breaking' solution? Polymers can protect buildings from large fault ruptures
University of Technology Sydney
Surface rupturing during earthquakes is a significant risk to any structure that is built across a fault zone that may be active, in addition to any risk from ground shaking. Surface rupture can affect large areas of land, and it can damage all structures in the vicinity of the fracture. Although current seismic codes restrict the construction in the vicinity of active tectonic faults, finding the exact location of fault outcrop is often difficult.

Rutgers University
How did rocks rust on Earth and turn red? A Rutgers-led study has shed new light on the important phenomenon and will help address questions about the Late Triassic climate more than 200 million years ago, when greenhouse gas levels were high enough to be a model for what our planet may be like in the future.
