Working & Learning at the University of Edinburgh – Student Ambassador, Geologist, Red Lichtie

The blog covers my life at the University of Edinburgh as a geology student, Student Ambassador and as a resident presiding in the Athens of the North. If you want to learn about the amazing geology of Scotland or explore the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde nature of the city, this is the space to chart! I cover poetry, geology seminars, field trips, university life, tourism in Edinburgh and everything Scottish.

Part 4 on Geology, Politics and Philosophy: Resources and Mining

The Topic Idea

Romania has a deep history with geology and with mining. Gold was mined since the Roman times. There was a lot of competition between nations to gain control over Romania’s gold fields in Transylvania.

The Rosia Montana gold and silver mining project in Romania’s Apuseni Mountains has been in and out of the environmental headlines in recent years. It is a fascinating case of the new market economy trying to conduct a dirty old industrial activity in a completely new and much cleaner way – at least in Romania.
