Hunor Deak in the Lab: Working in the geology laboratories of the University of Edinburgh

Hunor Deak in the rock lab

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 science, meteorology, palaeobiology, Earth physics, mining geology, soil science, petrology, oceanography, geomorphology, GIS, planetology, geochemistry and geophysics.

Well done to @ffusseis and his PhD student Berit Schwichtenberg for conducting a great geology trip to the Scottish Highlands to #Kinlochleven! Their knowledge of structural geology is extensive. Both of them are great educators. @GeosciencesEd @CockburnGeol @UoEGeosStudents #Sco pic.twitter.com/JouINH6ODG
