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 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 […]

I am a BSc Geology graduate from the University of Edinburgh, School of GeoSciences. I studied various aspects of geosciences for 5 years. I worked for the University of Edinburgh as a Student Ambassador, Receptionist, Social Media Representative and Office Aide. I volunteered with the School of GeoSciences as a public outreach helper, where I […]

Living in Arbroath Arbroath is a small town situated between Dundee and Montrose on the Scottish east coast. I might be biased a bit since I lived there for the past 5 years. However I travelled Scotland quite extensively from the geological wonders of the Isle of Skye to the multicultural streets of Edinburgh. Even […]

I attended a weekend geology field excursion as part of the course: Evolution of the Modern Earth and Cyprus Excursion for Geologists (EASC10120). I visited the area around Ballantrae. I studied mass scale folding, deep sea sediments, pillow lavas and deep crustal igneous rocks. The aims of the field trip were to improve our note […]

Third year was a big step for me! I attended four geology field trips over 2 months as part of the course: Palaeontology and Sedimentology (EASC10106). I visited Kinghorn, Barns Ness, North Esk Inlier and Dob’s Linn. I looked at local sedimentary sequences, discussed the nature of their geological history and looked at various fossils. […]
