CarboPaT member Sergey Lobanov wins two prizes 2019
Congratulations to Sergey Lobanov (GFZ Potsdam) who will receive the 2019 DCO Emerging Leader Award
The DCO honors leadership of the deep carbon science community by early career scientists of outstanding promise.
Fittingly, the DCO Emerging Leader Awards will be presented at Deep Carbon 2019: Launching the Next Generation of Deep Carbon Science in Washington D.C., USA on 24. - 26. October 2019.
DCO conference, Washington
Congratulations to Sergey Lobanov who has won the Mineral and Rock Physics Early Career Award
Sergey and other awardees have been been selected for their sustained and unique contributions to advancing our understanding of Earth, its atmosphere and oceans, and planets and astral bodies beyond our own.
The sciences encompassed by AGU are crucial for the health and well-being of our planet’s inhabitants. These awardees have contributed to both that understanding and the planetary health and well-being through their scientific advancements and outstanding service to the science and to AGU.
Sergey will receive the prize at next AGU, American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco, USA on 09. - 13. December 2019.

4th meeting of the FOR 2125/2
The members of the research unit FOR 2125 met at the Limes Hotel in Wehrheim from 10th to 11th October 2019. It has been the fourth meeting of the second funding period. PhD students and Postdocs presented their ongoing work and very new results for the projects of CarboPaT. Sandro Jahn successfully involves students in his research group at Cologne University and presented details from a Bachelor thesis about "Computer simulations of divalent cation invorporation in CaCO3". Thomas Schlothauer from TU Freiberg showed pictures and very impressive videos from the new rebuild shock wave laboratory in the mine "Reiche Zeche". He also introduced a new mineral and offered samples to investigate by the CarboPaT group.
CarboPaT session at YES Congress in Berlin in September 2019
PhD students and PostDocs have presented new results at 5th YES Congress 2019 “Rocking Earth’s Future” in Berlin from 9th to 13th September.
The CarboPaT session has been held on 12th September in hall C. Melanie Sieber, a PostDoc from GFZ Potsdam, has been leading the session "Carbonates under high Pressure and Temperatures" and initiated great scientific discussions after the presentations.
