For Bartosz Gierlach this is yet another international success. As a high school student he represented Poland three times at international geography Olympiads. In 2010, he was gold medalist of the world competition in Taiwan. Student Geophysical Society GEOPHONE at AGH, which he represents, is also among the nominees for the prestigious title of the world’s best geophysical scientific club. GEOPHONE won the title in 2012, and took third place last year.
