Tarnpreet Gill, Masters student (Earthquake Engineering Research Center) won the Best Paper Presentation Award in the general track category for his paper on Age Detection of Moon Minerals Using Crater Counting Techniques at the FOSS4G-Asia 2018, Sri Lanka, (a conference on Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial). The conference fosters sustainable development and promotes the widespread use of Open Source Geospatial Technologies including support for software development, publicly available Geo-data and applications. This year’s conference theme was ‘Open Source For Sustainable Development’. The conference itself had a host of sustainable initiatives ranging from no printed conference proceedings to no plastic water bottles, even exhorting the participants to ‘plate according to appetite’ during mealtimes and to consider taking the stairs in lieu of the elevator in case they were alone.
