Events & Courses

To encourage interaction between practicing professionals and university students, this particular event aims at establishing mentor/mentee relationships through geological field studies. Fellows are invited to share about their careers and introduce students to prospective career opportunities.

In this field trip, we will visit the oldest and the second youngest sedimentary rocks in Hong Kong. Ap Chau and Kat O are islands located at Northeast Hong Kong, and composed of reddish brown breccias of the Kat O Formation.

Harbour Island is located at the southern side of the Plover Cove Reservoir, where quartz sandstone of the Bluff Head Formation is exposed. Fragments of placoderm fish fossil of Devonian age were reported at this locality.

The boat will depart from Ma Liu Shui Pier (15-minute walk from University Station) to Ap Chau, Kat O, and Harbour Island. Miss Trudy Kwong and Mr. Kevin So will lead the trip and explain various geological and geomorphological features along the Tolo Channel.
