Sarah Lambros, a B.Sc. student majoring in Geophysics and minoring in Geology in the Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, recently won the “Most Accurate” category in the Visible Geology Student Challenge.

Sarah first learned about the Challenge while taking EOSC 323 Structural Geology with Dr. Lucy Porritt. Inspired by the opportunity, she decided to take on the Challenge, which involved creating a 3D model of a notable geological site in the USA or Canada using Visible Geology, a software developed by Seequent.

The model Sarah chose to build was Loder Peak on the eastern side of the Rockies in Kananaskis, Alberta. “I was born and raised in Calgary, so seeing that site of the very first mountains after the foothills is iconic and has a very special place in my heart,” said Sarah, “I also wanted to challenge myself by choosing something with folding, tilting, unconformities, and really see what I could do with Visible Geology.”

Congratulations Sarah!
