Indrajit Das (GP) and Nick Van Buer (GES) Win the 2009 SEG Rocky Mountain Challenge Bowl!
Indrajit Das and Nick Van Buer accept their 2009 SEG Rocky Mountain Challenge Bowl Awards.
Congratulations to Geophysics student Indrajit Das and Geological and Environmental Sciences student Nick Van Buer for their recent win of the 2009 Rocky Mountain Challenge Bowl in Denver.
The pair were pitted against teams from other US universities in a fun, rapid fire, who-can-answer first contest. The quiz tested the students' knowledge of a range of topics in geology and geophysics through a series of single and multiple-choice questions. In the words of Indrajit, the result was "a total mutilation of all the other teams!"
The 2009 SEG Rocky Mountain Challenge Bowl Teams
The students now get an expense-paid trip to the October SEG Annual Meeting in Houston. There, they will be up against teams of international students in the 4th Annual SEG Challenge Bowl Finals. This contest offers the chance to win a cash prize, as well as the opportunity to network with industry professionals, attend the SEG Annual Meeting and Technical Sessions, and participate in other student related activities.
Good job, Indrajit and Nick, and best of luck in the Finals!
