Event Outcome<br />

The event was a complete success, gathering 427<br />

participants f<strong>ro</strong>m 17 countries. The scientific competition of<br />

papers exceeded the expectation, the best papers being<br />

awarded. The job fair p<strong>ro</strong>ved to be the perfect tool for<br />

enhancing the connections between the academia and<br />

industry, many such collaborations following the event. The<br />

Challenge Bowl competition was both a real contest and a<br />

memorable show. The networking events and the field trip<br />

connected students, creating friendships and unique<br />

memories.<br />

The wellsite rig experience was a new experience for most of<br />

the students, an example of real industry activities. The stop<br />

at Brazi Refinery presented to students a new and unique<br />

envi<strong>ro</strong>nmental p<strong>ro</strong>blem and the <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>physical way of solving it.<br />

The stop at Bran Castle (Dracula Castle) represented a<br />

"dream come true" for most of the international students. The<br />

hike to Spumoasa Waterfall, in Bucegi Natural Park, was a<br />

trip with both impressing landscape and interesting<br />

<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>logical sites. Finally, the networking games and guitar<br />

singing in the bus increased the communication links,<br />

creating friendships and unique memories.<br />

Over 40 students took part in the three <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>physical field<br />

camps. Beside the hands-on in using <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>physical equipment<br />

gained in the field, the students also gained <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>physical data<br />

p<strong>ro</strong>cessing skills after the data p<strong>ro</strong>cessing workshop. For the<br />

local communities we shaped pollution maps and we<br />

concluded that, regretfully, there is no potable water source<br />

in the valley. By our study we b<strong>ro</strong>ught a decisive contribution<br />

in forcing the Romanian Government to app<strong>ro</strong>ve a big<br />

investment p<strong>ro</strong>ject that will bring potable water in the valley<br />

guests f<strong>ro</strong>m industry,<br />

creating a semi-formal<br />

envi<strong>ro</strong>nment where<br />

students and<br />

p<strong>ro</strong>fessionals can<br />

connect<br />

This party, an important tradition for our chapters, actively<br />

involved a great number of members in its preparation, thus<br />

being a great opportunity for younger students to get to know<br />

the older ones. The Party has a specific p<strong>ro</strong>gram every year<br />

and it begins with the AAPG former president's presentation<br />

on what activities we had during 2009-2010 for our fellow<br />

colleagues and p<strong>ro</strong>fessors, hopping to encourage better<br />

future collaborations. After the BSC choir that delighted our<br />

guests with traditional Romanian ca<strong>ro</strong>ls, everyone was<br />

invited to enjoy our home-cooked food and thus the<br />

networking started. The students could talk to p<strong>ro</strong>fessors and<br />

get to know them outside classes. We celebrated 11 years of<br />

BSC by handing out gifts, in a Secret Santa manner. Also,<br />

this year we organized a fundraising among students and<br />

p<strong>ro</strong>fessors for children f<strong>ro</strong>m a Foster Home near Bucharest.


27-29.10.10 field trip Autumn Field Trip<br />

Together with 3 faculty members and 70 student members of<br />

int<strong>ro</strong>ducing 1st year our <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>Student</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>Chapter</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>s, we went to Bughea de Jos, the perfect<br />

students to some basic base camp in the <strong>ro</strong>ute towards several diverse <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>logical<br />

<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>logy and showing sites. <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>Student</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>s were divided into 10 g<strong>ro</strong>ups with 6-7<br />

them how vast and members each, having 4th year students in each team. This<br />

interesting it can be and, way, we got students f<strong>ro</strong>m 4th year to take on responsibilities<br />

in the same time, and put them in a situation that required conveying their<br />

integrating them in the knowledge to others. Work in small g<strong>ro</strong>ups was a better<br />

already formed g<strong>ro</strong>up of learning experience for everyone. We also organized small<br />

BSC; for the older competitions between teams, this way maintaining the<br />

students - learning general attention and interest. We combined both a<br />

hands-on some aspects theoretical and a practical app<strong>ro</strong>ach for learning. Besides the<br />

of the <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>logy in the scientific aspect of the trip, we also insisted on getting to<br />

areas and make them know each other and integrating all the new students in our<br />

use their theoretical g<strong>ro</strong>up. So in the first evening, we spent some time telling<br />

knowledge on the field; individuals stories about how we got into <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>logy and after<br />

teaching students how this we organized some "learning by doing" games (f<strong>ro</strong>m the<br />

to work in teams Scout Method), th<strong>ro</strong>ugh which we underlined the importance<br />

of team work and mutual respect. The night<br />

students and industry<br />

p<strong>ro</strong>fessionals<br />

In the last years, BSC (of SEG, AAPG and EAGE) meetings<br />

were usually bimonthly and included lectures, presentations<br />

on different topics f<strong>ro</strong>m students and distinguished guests,<br />

talks about future plans, this was the first meeting organized<br />

exclusively by the SEG SC, being dedicated to the domain of<br />

<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>physics. It included three presentations. We were<br />

honored to have the CEO of P<strong>ro</strong>spectiuni S.A., Mr. Gehrig<br />

Schulz, who described his experience on the field. Also, two<br />

<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>physicists hired at P<strong>ro</strong>spectiuni discussed about<br />

exploration opportunities in Romanian Basins and acquisition<br />

in marine seismics. We were excited to have a great turnout,<br />

not only f<strong>ro</strong>m <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>physics' students, but also f<strong>ro</strong>m other fields<br />

of study.<br />

between the Bucharest<br />

and Aberdeen SC that<br />

will lead in a two-part<br />

p<strong>ro</strong>ject; build a<br />

connection between<br />

students and companies<br />

The p<strong>ro</strong>ject consisted in bringing four students f<strong>ro</strong>m<br />

Bucharest (one of them was the BSC of SEG president f<strong>ro</strong>m<br />

that time) and undergraduate students f<strong>ro</strong>m Aberdeen for<br />

one week of courses and seminars and field trips near<br />

about the <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>logy in the<br />

area; connecting with<br />

people f<strong>ro</strong>m the industry<br />

The same structure of dividing students into teams was again<br />

implemented with success. Also, a field guide was made for<br />

students to keep them on track with the trip's evolution. The<br />

students learned a lot more on the field than they would have<br />

just reading about it and they were excited about finding<br />

fossils, seeing sedimentological structures and<br />

understanding the depositional envi<strong>ro</strong>nment.<br />

The students had the opportunity to spend 5 days at the<br />

mining site with the <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>logists f<strong>ro</strong>m Rosia Montana Gold<br />

Corporation. The field trip was well structured<br />

and each day a key-topic of gold-mining in an open quarry<br />

was discussed such as:<br />

<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>logy, economics, technology, envi<strong>ro</strong>nment and history. It<br />

was an unique opportunity to visit, learn and<br />

understand the hyd<strong>ro</strong>thermal ore deposits and it showed<br />

another side of <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>logy exploration.

Geophysical field<br />

and field experience for<br />

camp in Nis, Serbia<br />

students<br />

The g<strong>ro</strong>up of Romanian and Serbian students applied<br />

several non-invasive investigation methods on the<br />

archeological site (resistivity surveys, GPR, magnetics and<br />

active seismics). <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>Student</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>s learned hands-on about using<br />

<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>physical equipment and data acquisition, but also in<br />

setting-up a field camp. Moreover, we were able to<br />

experience a cultural exchange with the Serbian students<br />

and share our experience in the field and work together in<br />

teams developing our team work skills. We created an<br />

international bond with the Serbian SEG student chapter,<br />

which will hopefully lead to more joint activities. We held a<br />

workshop with the archeologists on site, who were students<br />

at the Universities in France and Canada and their<br />

p<strong>ro</strong>fessors, where we presented and discussed our<br />

preliminary results. Our surveys indicated to important buried<br />

structures. More detailed studies were made by students with<br />

the aid of the p<strong>ro</strong>ject scientific coordinators which will be<br />

presented at student conferences. Based on the results,<br />

p<strong>ro</strong>specting trenches have been app<strong>ro</strong>ved for the summer of<br />

2012. The field camp was a full success.<br />

Undergraduates, MSc and PhD students f<strong>ro</strong>m Aberdeen and<br />

Bucharest partook<br />

the 10 days p<strong>ro</strong>gram comprised of short courses and<br />

extended field trips. The link with the Oil<br />

Companies was an essential aspect in bridging the gap<br />

between students, young p<strong>ro</strong>fessionals and<br />

the Industry. The sch<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>edu</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>le offered good balance between<br />

technical and social<br />

activities. The p<strong>ro</strong>ject was sponsored by GeoEcoMar,<br />

P<strong>ro</strong>spectiuni SA, Zeta Pet<strong>ro</strong>leum and th<strong>ro</strong>ugh<br />

“P<strong>ro</strong>f. Grigore Raileanu” Award offered by Mr. Bogdan<br />

Popescu (Zeta Pet<strong>ro</strong>leum) to our chapter.<br />

The international Serbian-Romanian g<strong>ro</strong>up of students<br />

investigated the Mediana archaeological site with<br />

<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>physical methods. The students gain hands-on in using<br />

<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>physical equipment and in setting-up a field camp.<br />

Integrating resistivity and magnetic surveys important burried<br />

structures have been evidenced. Also, some sites assumed<br />

to be of interest by the archaeologists have been infirmed.<br />

The p<strong>ro</strong>ject had also a very important networking aspect,<br />

creating st<strong>ro</strong>ng friendships that are now the key for new<br />

collaborations.

Summary<br />

Please fill out the questions below.<br />

1. What significant goal or contribution has your chapter achieved this year?<br />

Our greatest achievement this year was the 10 day field camp financed by the SEG<br />

Foundation and co-financed by EAGE <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>Student</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> Fund and P<strong>ro</strong>spectiuni SA., which took place at<br />

an important archeological site near the town of Jurilovca, Romania. The opportunity of<br />

working hands-on with <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>physical equipment came as an answer to students’ need of<br />

combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience, very important to future<br />

<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>physicists. Having representatives f<strong>ro</strong>m University of Belgrad SC with us was a great<br />

addition to the experience and the friendship that developed during the camp will hopefully<br />

materialize into more joint activities. We had support f<strong>ro</strong>m the “Vasile Parvan” Institute of<br />

Archaeology, with which we still stay in touch and with which we will continue our collaboration<br />

this summer. The field camp experience has inspired younger students to make more detailed<br />

studies, with the aid of the PhD students that were the p<strong>ro</strong>ject’s scientific coordinators.<br />

2. List any goals your chapter has for next year? Anything important you would like to<br />

try to accomplish?<br />

Over the next year, we want to strengthen our connections with companies and invite more<br />

speakers f<strong>ro</strong>m industry. We’re hoping on organizing workshops with industry workers. We also<br />

want to continue our great collaboration with the other student chapters in our university – BSC<br />

of AAPG, EAGE and SEG (Society of Economic Geologists); together we will continue<br />

p<strong>ro</strong>moting extra-curricular <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>sciences activities with aid f<strong>ro</strong>m the faculty. We’ve already<br />

started planning our summer activity, which will be organized as an international “summer<br />

school” that will prepare students to face the real challenges of the industry. We plan on<br />

continuing our work on the archeological site near Jurilovca, but also, with the aid of<br />

P<strong>ro</strong>spectiuni S.A. and Weatherford we want to learn about <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>physics applied for oil & gas<br />

exploration, more specifically seismics and well-logging. We’re hoping for a great networking<br />

experience between student chapters f<strong>ro</strong>m the East Eu<strong>ro</strong>pe area.<br />

3. <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>Chapter</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> Wish List: What are some things you would like the chapter to receive,<br />

either f<strong>ro</strong>m SEG or f<strong>ro</strong>m local companies?<br />

We hope for a better communication with companies; we would like more representatives of<br />

the industry to interact with students to better prepare us for p<strong>ro</strong>fession. We need more (free)<br />

short courses available for students, f<strong>ro</strong>m both SEG and company workers. We would like to<br />

receive financial support for organizing our activities and for travelling to conferences and<br />

symposiums. Also, companies should offer more trainings for students that will help us apply<br />

what we have learned theoretically. Also, we think it would be great if the SEG web-site would<br />

support student chapter sites.

Questions:<br />

As the Faculty Advisor, what would you like SEG to<br />

p<strong>ro</strong>vide to chapters or to Faculty?<br />

More opportunities to contact successful international<br />

p<strong>ro</strong>fessionals f<strong>ro</strong>m exploration and service companies.<br />

More opportunities for international co-operations<br />

between chapters f<strong>ro</strong>m the same region, continent and<br />

worldwide.<br />

What do you believe is the most valuable benefit<br />

SEG p<strong>ro</strong>vides to its <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>Student</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>Chapter</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>s?<br />

Possibilities to get successful applications in the field,<br />

without borders, integrating theoretical and applied<br />

aspects of Geophysics, involvement with the society,<br />

possibilities to present the results and network with<br />

other students and faculty advisors, p<strong>ro</strong>fessionals for<br />

the benefit of all.<br />

If you could create a wish list for your department,<br />

what would be on it?<br />

A timely, long-term possibility to organize p<strong>ro</strong>fessional<br />

field camps in potential fields, seismics and well<br />

logging, offering our graduates the chance to better<br />

prepare for p<strong>ro</strong>fession, together with other international<br />

students. Altogether they have to better integrate into<br />

the society of tomor<strong>ro</strong>w.
