Kim Seoyeon (Class of 2023, Earth Science Education major, Department of Science Education), under the supervision of Professor Jeonghoon Lee, received the grand prize in the academic presentation category at the 18th National Joint Geological Science Field Camp, held in Geoje, Gyeongsangnam-do, from June 30 (Tue) to July 2 (Thu), 2026.
Organized by the Geological Society of Korea, the National Joint Geological Science Field Camp is an annual event designed to foster interest in geology among the next generation of geologists, identify and nurture promising talent, and promote academic exchange among students majoring in geology-related fields nationwide. This year’s camp was hosted by Gyeongsang National University in Geoje, Gyeongsangnam-do, with approximately 100 students majoring in geology-related fields from 10 universities across the country participating.

Kim Seoyeon received the grand prize in the academic presentation category for presenting her research, titled “Estimating Evapotranspiration Using Stable Water Isotopes: Experimental Validation Using the Rayleigh Model.” The study experimentally investigated the non-fractionating mechanism of transpiration in a complex hydrological system by using deuterium as an independent tracer to address the limitations of conventional isotope fractionation modeling. The study was highly recognized for laying the groundwork for more accurate estimation of evapotranspiration in natural ecosystems and for quantitatively distinguishing the contributions of evaporation and transpiration. The findings are expected to contribute to understanding complex hydrological and ecological systems in the fields of geology and environmental geochemistry.
Kim Seoyeon said, “It was a very meaningful opportunity to share my research with experts in the geological sciences community and future geologists from across the country, and I am delighted that this experience resulted in such a valuable award.” She added, “Building on this experience, I hope to continue exploring a wide range of topics and grow into a scientist who contributes to showcasing Ewha’s academic excellence.”
