THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: For Siddharth Kumar Gopal, earth science is a walk in the park. The 16-year-old will look to hit it out of the park when he represents India at the International Earth Science Olympiad (IESO) to be held in Beijing, China, in August. He also represented the country at the 2023 International Junior Astronomy Olympiad in Volos, Greece where he secured a silver medal. “They will test my skills in all major areas of earth science, including geology, geophysics, meteorology, oceanography, terrestrial astronomy and environmental sciences. The aim is to enhance the level of geoscience education worldwide and increase public awareness of earth sciences,” Sidharth told TNIE.
