Sediment coring and water sampling in Bien Ho lake, Central Highlands of Vietnam, March-April 2021: The coring expedition to Biển Hồ occurred in March-April 2021. Our team recovered parallel sediment cores with an overall length of up to 25 m, covering the last ca. 60,000 years.
Initial core analyses including core photography, subsampling, sedimentology, grain size, loss-on-ignition, mineralogical composition (XRD), for 2016-2018 sediment cores in the EOS laboratory at VNU.

Hồ tự nhiên Biển Hồ hình thành trên các miệng núi lửa cổ ở TP. Pleiku, tỉnh Gia Lai. Nhiều bạn trẻ ngày nay vẫn tin lời đồn bí ẩn hồ sâu không đáy. Biển Hồ có lẽ trở nên nổi tiếng ở Việt Nam nhờ một chàng trai gốc Hà Nội – nhạc sĩ Nguyễn Cường cùng ca khúc “Đôi mắt Pleiku”, với ca từ đi vào lòng người nhiều thế hệ “Đôi mắt Pleiku Biển Hồ đầy”. Nhóm nghiên cứu tại Khoa Địa chất đã giải mã độ sâu thật sự của Biển Hồ và các thông tin ẩn dấu trong các lớp bùn (trầm tích) dày hàng chục mét dần lộ diện, khiến Biển Hồ dần trở nên nổi tiếng thế giới. Nghiên cứu nhận được tài trợ của Quỹ Phát triển KHCN Quốc gia (NAFOSTED) và Chương trình học giả Fulbright – Chính phủ Hoa Kỳ.
Nghiên cứu Biển Hồ do TS. Nguyễn Văn Hướng – Khoa Địa chất dẫn đầu, được thực hiện từ năm 2016, Quỹ NAFOSTED tài trợ từ năm 2019, với sự hợp tác nghiên cứu của nhiều đơn vị trong và ngoài nước. Nhóm tiếp cận Biển Hồ theo hướng nghiên cứu đa ngành, bao gồm đánh giá chất lượng và tài nguyên nước, giám sát môi trường nước, nghiên cứu thay đổi hệ sinh thái trong bối cảnh biến đổi khí hậu và khôi phục lịch sử môi trường-khí hậu trong quá khứ ở khu vực Tây Nguyên.
Nghiên cứu Biển Hồ vài năm qua đã góp phần vào việc đào tạo ở bậc đại học và sau đại học tại Khoa Địa chất, thu hút ngày càng nhiều các bạn sinh viên tham gia. Hầu hết sinh viên tham gia đã có những trải nghiệm khó quên với các thầy cô trong nhóm nghiên cứu, qua đó học hỏi kỹ năng triển khai tổ chức nghiên cứu, trau dồi đam mê khoa học và đặc biệt là tinh thần không lùi bước trước khó khăn để vượt qua giới hạn của trang thiết bị khoa học và của bản thân. Tháng 4 năm 2021, nhóm đã đạt được dấu mốc quan trọng với thành công trong việc lấy mẫu trầm tích nguyên dạng – liên tục đến độ sâu 25 mét dưới mặt bùn ở Biển Hồ.
Các đợt lấy mẫu trước đây, phân tích trong phòng thí nghiệm được thực hiện chủ yếu tại Việt Nam. Năm 2021, TS. Nguyễn Văn Hướng là một trong bảy nhà khoa học Việt Nam được được lựa chọn (trong tổng số gần 50 ứng viên) tham gia Chương trình Học giả Fulbright tại Hoa Kỳ. Từ tháng 5 đến tháng 10 năm 2021, Học giả Fulbright Nguyễn Văn Hướng đã bắt tay thực hiện các phân tích các trầm tích Biển Hồ mới thu thập được tại Đại học Indiana và Đại học Minnesota. Kết quả phân tích tuổi trầm tích bằng đồng vị phóng xạ carbon và bằng phương pháp cổ từ cho tuổi 57 ngàn năm ở đáy lõi trầm tích sâu 25 mét. Các kết quả về niên đại trầm tích, cổ từ, phân tích địa hóa, khoáng vật, đồng vị bền, vi cổ sinh, biomarker,… luận giải cổ khí hậu sẽ được công bố trong thời gian tới. Biển Hồ vẫn bí ẩn, không phải vì lời đồn ‘hồ không đáy” mà vì trầm tích dưới đáy chứa nhiều thông tin ghi nhận liên tục về cổ môi trường và cổ khí hậu ở Đông Nam Á cần giải mã.
Nhiều đồng nghiệp đặt câu hỏi nhóm sẽ có thể khoan sâu đến đâu trong tương lai? Có lẽ không thể trả lời chính xác 50 mét, 100 mét hay tới tận đá cứng. Tại Khoa Địa chất, Trường ĐH KHTN, môi trường làm việc – học tập vô cùng tự do và thúc đẩy sáng tạo. Với đam mê khoa học không ngừng của các thành viên và sự hỗ trợ nhiệt thành của các bạn sinh viên, nghiên cứu Biển Hồ có thể sẽ phát triển hơn nữa trong hàng chục năm tiếp theo. Trầm tích Biển Hồ có thể coi như một “mỏ vàng” thông tin và nhóm nghiên cứu đang nắm giữ chìa khóa để khai thác “mỏ vàng” ấy.
TS. Nguyễn Đình Thái, giảng viên Khoa Địa chất, Trường ĐH Khoa học Tự nhiên – Đại học Quốc gia Hà Nội, đứng đầu công bố mới nghiên cứu cổ khí hậu khu vực Nam Tây Nguyên từ trầm tích Hồ Ea Tyn trên tạp chí “The Holocene” của NXB SAGE Publishing.
Nghiên cứu được tiến hành với đợt khảo sát thực địa tháng 3/2019 khu vực huyện Lắk, tỉnh Đắk Lắk để lựa chọn vị trí nghiên cứu trong số các hồ tiềm năng, trước khi đội lấy mẫu lõi trầm tích được triển khai với sự tham gia của GS. Ingmar Unkel đến từ Đại học Kiel – CHLB Đức vào tháng 3/2020 tại hồ Ea Tyn. Tại đây nhóm đã thành công trong việc thu thập lõi trầm tích liên tục và nguyên dạng đến độ sâu 9 mét dưới đáy hồ. Kết quả định tuổi 13 mẫu đồng vị phóng xạ carbon 14 cho thấy trầm tích hồ Ea Tyn tích tụ liên tục với tốc độ rất nhanh trong gần 1.300 năm qua.
Hồ Ea Tyn nằm trong khu bảo tồn thiên nhiên Nam Kar, còn được biết đến với tên gọi Bầu Nước Xanh, là một hồ kiến tạo tương đối hiếm ở Tây Nguyên với độ sâu cực đại khoảng 5 mét. Hồ kéo dài khoảng 3 km hình thành trên đứt gãy Tân kiến tạo phương đông tây cắt qua các đá trầm tích Jura thuộc hệ tầng La Ngà. Để tiếp cận được hồ, nhóm khảo sát đã phải băng qua 3 km đường mòn trong rừng rậm và hàng đêm phải dựng lều ngủ ven hồ. Các phân tích được tiến hành tại PTN Khoa Địa chất – HUS-VNU, Viện Địa chất – VAST, Đại học Kiel – Đức, Sở Địa chất Phần Lan và ĐH Indiana – Hoa Kỳ. Nghiên cứu mới trình bày kết quả phân tích tuổi C-14, đặc điểm trầm tích, địa hóa và phân tích thành phần chính PCA để chứng minh sự xuất hiện của 12 sự kiến hạn hán xảy trong khu vực trong 1.250 năm qua.
Nghiên cứu được tài trợ một phần bởi Đại học Quốc gia Hà Nội thông qua đề tài QG.20.11. Các kết quả phân tích đồng vị bền, độ từ cảm, đặc điểm từ tính các khoáng vật và bào tử phấn hoa sẽ được công bố trong thời gian tới.
Xin chúc mừng TS. Nguyễn Đình Thái đã có bước tiến quan trọng sự nghiệp nghiên cứu Khoa học!

Experience
Vietnam Fieldwork, Vietnam National University (VNU) in Hanoi, Vietnam
Led field work, created a lightweight and inexpensive sediment coring device for use in remote regions and in developing countries. Materials for its construction are readily available in Vietnam. Images from field work in a 21-meter deep maar lake in Vietnam are available here: https://eosvnu.net/projects/paleoclimate/.
Field Geologist, EnviroForensics, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, 3/2015 – 07/2016
Tasks included field work crew oversight with communication to management on progress, findings and extensive field reporting based primarily on tetrachloroethylene contaminant throughout the state of Indiana.
Groundwater data (collection of depths to create flow maps, creation of plume mapping based on physical and chemical properties collected on site).
Soil properties (sediment mapping based on physical characteristics for the creation of favorable pathway maps for eventual remediation based on groundwater plume flow).
Vapor Intrusion (VI) information from collection of outdoor canisters, indoor canisters, soil gas ports, as well as installation of sub-foundation ports.
Installation and oversight of permanent forensic instruments from groundwater wells networks, VI ports for sub-foundation indoors and outdoors, soil gas ports. Installations were at times in close proximity with underground and overhead utilities.
Office work involved data analysis, tabulation of findings, and subsequent creation of site reports for submission to government officials.
Promoted to Staff Geologist shortly before enrolling in M.Sc. program at the University of Bremen.
