On the afternoon of December 2, 2025, the Earth Sciences Division of the Department of Earth and Life Science hosted the "2025 Earth Sciences Division Undergraduate Research Presentation" in Room S107 of the Science Building. The event aimed to showcase the fruitful outcomes of summer research projects conducted by undergraduate students. Six students delivered oral presentations covering diverse fields such as geological education, marine science, cultural heritage inspection, atmospheric science, and satellite remote sensing, fully embodying the interdisciplinary nature of Earth Sciences. The research topics presented possessed both local relevance and international perspectives. In the realm of geological and geographical education, student Yeh Yu-Sheng explored the educational functions of geological interpretation along suburban trails, using Daluntou Mountain as a case study. Meanwhile, student Wu Hsuan-Hui delved into practical teaching environments to reflect on diversified teaching models within marine ecosystem conservation curricula, demonstrating the integration of academic research and educational outreach. Regarding natural science and technical applications, student Ho Kuan-Yu conducted detailed research and mapping of Taiwan's tsunami breaking wave zones, providing foundational data for disaster prevention science. Student Hsieh Yu-Shan utilized AVHRR satellite imagery to establish time-series models, investigating the correlation between climate warming and changes in Taiwan's cloud belt forests, thereby displaying impressive capabilities in macro-environmental monitoring. Furthermore, interdisciplinary applications were a major highlight. Student Lin Yi-Chen employed non-destructive testing techniques to analyze the copper alloy material of the bronze horse statue in the 228 Peace Memorial Park, successfully applying Earth Science techniques to cultural heritage preservation. Student Shen Wei-Yao, presenting with an English title, investigated the relationship between the Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation (BSISO) and typhoons affecting Taiwan, demonstrating strong potential for engaging with international atmospheric science research. Numerous faculty advisors were present to offer commentary and guidance throughout the event. The session concluded with an awards ceremony, where professors presented red envelopes as rewards to outstanding students (as depicted in the event photos), acknowledging the dedication and professionalism demonstrated throughout their research. This presentation served not only as a platform for academic exchange but also as a testament to the Department’s enduring tradition of pragmatic scientific inquiry.
