The field-camp took place in the Zlatna mining region, which represents a complex area both from the existing deposits point of view and the pollution problems. It is located in Center Region of Romania, in the Alba County, in Metaliferi Mountains area. The metalliferrous minerals represent the main opulence of this area, especially the gold-silver and copper minerals. The metalliferrous exploitation (especially the gold exploitation) occurred from ever since the Roman Empire`s administration, but it reached the highest level between the years 1970-1985. However, after the year 1990, the activity of mining exploitation from this region (Rosia Montana, Baia de Aries, Zlatna, Rosia Poieni, etc.) began to fail. The activities of mining exploitation in Zlatna region are now closed. Four waste dumps were chosen for study, for emphasizing the similarities and the differences of the investigation of the two main types of metalliferous dumps: exploitation dumps and ore processing dumps. There were four types of <strong>geo</strong>physical surveys used: Resistivity, Ground Penetrating Radar, Magnetic and Seismic. These were chosen because they are the most practical <strong>geo</strong>physical near-surface applications on former mining and mining waste sites. By the field campaign's end, the students acquired both important hands-on training as well as multiple data sets that will greatly aid them in completing undergraduate theses. Overall, the twinned <strong>Student</strong> <strong>Chapter</strong> field camp proved to be a successful approach to collaboration and it exposed many students to their first practical <strong>geo</strong>physics training. The UB student instructors and teaching assistants had the opportunity to teach in an interesting and sometimes challenging environment. They are now eager to participate in more similar projects and, if possible, at bigger scale. Page | 13
Another important part of BSC collaboration with the SEG <strong>Student</strong> Section in our faculty is the lecture programs the SEG provides, the Distinguished Lecturer Program and the Honorary Lecturer Program. In the fall of 2008, we had the SEG/AAPG Distinguished Lecturer Peter M. Duncan. His presentation was called Aggressively passive: Microseismic opportunities over an oilfield’s life. This lecture presented a view on the history and development of passive seismic techniques, a discussion through state of the art case histories and a vision on where this technology will play a role in the smart oil field of the future. It was a pleasure listening to Peter Duncan, because he is an excellent lecturer and a very charismatic person. We were very lucky to have Peter Duncan at our faculty, as out of the 30 faculties in Europe that applied for it, only 6 were selected to host this lecture. The selection of our faculty for this program was the result of the very active and very efficient activities our AAPG and SEG <strong>Student</strong> <strong>Chapter</strong>s have every year. In the spring of 2009, on the 1 st of April, the SEG Honorary Lecturer Per Avseth came at our faculty for a course. Per Avseth is a <strong>geo</strong>physical adviser at Odin Petroleum in Bergen, Norway, and a consultant to oil companies within the field of quantitative seismic interpretation and rock physics analysis. He is also an adjunct professor in applied <strong>geo</strong>physics at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. His lecture was called Mind the gap in seismic reservoir prediction: How rock physics can bridge the gap between qualitative <strong>geo</strong>logy and quantitative <strong>geo</strong>physics. Both events both organized by the two student chapters, supported by the faculty officials. The attendance was very satisfactory and the impact was big. Page | 14
