Why do I write poems? Poetry helps me explore my inner worlds. It helps me to shift through the different science subjects I have encountered and help me place it within my own philosophy. It is a way for me to process the material I have learnt in lectures, seminars and on the field trips. […]

I finished 5 years of my education at the University of Edinburgh, School of GeoSciences. It was great fun. I learnt a lot and expanded my mind. I had a lot of excellent help from 100s of people, from the SDS department to the School of GeoSciences. I started my journey at Arbroath High School […]

I had lots of interesting field trips with the university. A visited a fair few countries in Europe, such as Romania and Spain. I learnt about deep geological time, I learnt about a great range of fields within geology. The blog covered my life at the University of Edinburgh as a geology student, Student Ambassador […]

The aim of the trip was to look at the geology of the island of Anglesey, see how we can make field trips inclusive to a diverse group of people and try out new digital technologies in the field. This inclusive field trip is for any undergraduate student studying a Geology (or related) degree at […]

In 2017 I took a geology trip around Romania! I started out in Harghita where I took a look at the local intrusion and the local volcanism. Than I visited the geology dome of the area, and I visited the local mine which has been in operation since the Roman times of 100 AD. Than […]

I attended a week long geology field excursion as part of the course: Field Skills for Geology (EASC10105). I visited the area around Kinlochleven. I studied mass scale folding, Highland metamorphic rocks, small scale mapping and navigating contact zones. The aim of the field trip was to improve our mapping skills. Some information about Kinlochleven […]

I attended a week long geology field excursion as part of the course: Field Skills for Geology (EASC10105). I visited various location in southern Spain. I studied sedimentary structures, looked evidence of volcanism in the region, mapped fault sequences and learnt about European tectonics. The aims of the field trip were to build on the […]

I lived in Edinburgh for over 5 years. I experienced a great overview through the city. I took part in the various art festivals, I went to local geology field trips and joined a great deal of local and national geology societies. The University of Edinburgh is an important part of the city. It played […]

I had a lot of interesting lab work from melting rocks into lava to take geophysics measurements. My course centered around the study of the Earth in the present and the processes that created it in the past. My course touched many scientific disciplines ranging from computer simulation to interplanetary physics. I studied palaeontology, climate […]

This trip helped me to write my dissertation. It was a great trip! The area visited was located in Romania, in Harghita. It was a large-scale igneous intrusion into the Tulghes, Rebra-Negrisoara metamorphic unit. I was interested in the area due to not being able to afford mapping in the UK. I was also interested […]
