News and events
From April 11 to 15, students of the Faculty of Engineering and Physics of AmSU visited the Siberian Federal University in Krasnoyarsk and took part in the 12th All-Russian Student Olympiad on 3D modeling of the structure of deposits (3D_Geo_2023). The event is held by the Institute of Mining, Geology and Geotechnologies of SIBFU, the Department of Geology of Deposits and Exploration Methods.
Students of mining and geological specialties from St. Petersburg Mining University, Sergo Ordzhonikidze Moscow Geological Exploration University, Tomsk State University, Platov South Russian State Polytechnic University, Siberian Federal University, G.I. Nosov Magnitogorsk State Technical University participated in the Olympiad.
Amur State University was represented by a team of 4th and 5th year students: Tatiana Belova, Ilya Kadyshev, Marina Omelchenko, Nikita Shatunov. They are studying the specialty “Applied Geology”. Ruslan Lepshokov, a leading specialist of the Department of Geological Modeling and Operational Exploration of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company, helped students prepare for the Olympiad, and Dmitry Yusupov, Professor of the Department of Geology and Environmental Management, was the team leader.
The task of the Olympiad simulates searching and evaluating stages of geological exploration of an ore deposit. Preparation for the All–Russian Olympiad is carried out in two stages – correspondence stage and offline stage. The teams that submitted applications for participation are sent the materials of the search stage. The materials contain results of testing secondary scattering halos, a map of the actual material and a diagram of the geological structure of the work area.
After analyzing the materials, the participants design the locations of boreholes and trenches to complete the searching stage of geological exploration. The locations of the search stage are sent to the hosts no later than 7 days before the start of the Olympiad. Upon arrival at the Olympiad, participants receive the results of mining and drilling works of the searching stage – testing and lithological intervals of boreholes and trenches.
The offline stage of the Olympiad continues for four days. On the last day participants show and defend their project in the form of presentation and an oral report. The jury evaluates the quality of presented materials, paying attention primarily to the correctness and completeness of the main and related geological works. Knowledge of the software and the economic side of the work are also evaluated. During the Olympiad, it is allowed to use any reference literature and it is possible to get advice on software.
Despite the high level of training and experience of the opponents, the AmSU team showed decent results, and took 3rd place. The students reaffirmed their professional level of proficiency in the mining-geological information system “Mikroman”, gained additional knowledge on the theory and practice of geological exploration, invaluable experience in intellectual competitions, positive emotions and found new acquaintances.
