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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Topic Idea The idea of deep time completely changed the realities of our civilization. We went from time being brief to time taking billions of years, and man not being part of the universe from the start. Interesting video on the subject

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 […]
