The teams of future geologists of Blagoveshchensk advanced to the semifinals of the CASE-IN championship

Amur State University hosted the qualifying stage in the field of "Geological Exploration" of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", one of the projects of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of Opportunities".

Students studying in Applied Geology joined 8 teams to solve a case from the world's largest diamond producer ALROSA. The task of the participants, as part of the qualifying stage, was to analyze the available textual and graphical geological information, determine the features of the placer structure, the geological, industrial and genetic type of the object. In addition, the participants had to formulate the prerequisites and signs of the diamond-bearing area and draw a conclusion about the attractiveness and prospects of the site in question.

The expert jury was made up of teachers of the Department of Geology and Environmental Management, representatives of AmSU partner companies in the field of geological exploration in the Amur Region, as well as representatives of ALROSA. All the experts noted the high level of training of the participants of the Championship and, despite the narrow focus of the case, the students successfully completed their tasks.

According to the results of the assessments, the first three places were distributed as follows:

The 1st place was taken by the Diggers 2.0 team, consisting of 3rd year students Kozyreva Victoria, Yatskevich Diana, Dyuldina Svetlana and captain of the team Zhitnikov Denis.
