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 />
f<strong>ro</strong>m more than 30 km distance.<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 />

opportunity of<br />
interaction between<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 />
Aberdeen networking. Overall it was an intense week filled<br />
with diversity for the future <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>geo</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>scientists.<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.

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.
