Did you know that approximately 25% of Oslo people are foreign? "Waiting for Pint of Science" is travelling with you all around the world with a new series of events! Their next event, we will be hosting the representants of the largest international group in Norway: Poles! And CEED very own Agata Krzesińska will be giving a talk, along with two other Polish scientists who will present their research.
Agata will give a talk on "Norwegian meteorites – how to find them and why to study". She writes the following: "Every year, 10-15 meteorites fall somewhere on the Earth. Some are accompanied by spectacular fireballs (like the one we saw over Oslo in July this year) and collected immediately after the fall. Other come unnoticed and are found by luck only, many years later. Norway is home to 15 meteorites and new ones can still be found. What to do if you think, you have found a meteorite? How to recognize it? Can we not only wait for luck but also actively do a meteorite search? Why scientists care about meteorites? In this talk, I will give answers to these questions by telling about my work on meteorites, particularly on most recent Norwegian ones."
