2 Bucharest Student Chapter of Society of Economic Geologists Annual Report 2016/2017 The Bucharest Student Chapter is a student association affiliated to the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics, University of Bucharest, gathering four student chapters representing some of the most important international geosciences organizations (AAPG - American Association of Petroleum Geologists, SPE - Society of Petroleum Engineers, SEG - Society of Economic Geologists, SEG - Society of Exploration Geophysicists) plus two scientific groups: Mineralogy Circle and Geotechnical Octagon. During the period of , members of Bucharest Student Chapter of Society of Economic Geologists held a series of presentations at the Student National Symposium and participated in several field trips (each chapter s annual field trip/field camp). Regular presentations and field trips were focused on petroleum, mineralogical, petrological and geophysical field of studies. One lecturer was invited during the year to hold a conference on: Fluids in the continental crust and in the upper mantle: An atlas about fluid inclusions and mineral melts from Romania (Dr. Ioan Pintea form Geological Institute of Romania - Cluj - Napoca). 1. BSC of SEG Activities May 2017 Bucharest Student Chapter of SEG got invited by SEG Student Chapter form University of Miskolc to participate in a short courese about Sampling methods on active and abandoned mining areas in Telkibanya (Hungary). In this short course two members from our chapter and another three students form our faculty have taken part (Fig 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4). 18 May 2017 Dr. Ioan Pintea from the Geological Institute of Romania, Cluj-Napoca branch, was invited to hold a conference regarding the following subject: Fluids in the continental crust and in the upper mantle: An atlas about fluid inclusions and mineral melts from Romania (Fig 1.5, 1.6).

3 29 August - 21 September 2017 Two members from our chapter and another four students from our faculty took part in a soil sampling session with the prospection and drilling company from Romania Formin S.A. Together with two geologists from Formin they sampled a perimeter near Brad city, Hunedeoara county during the prospection phase for a polimetalic ore (Fig 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12) September 2017 Our chapter together with Brno SEG Student Chapter (Czech Republic) and Sofia SEG Student Chapter (Bulgaria) organized a join field trip in the Czech Republic focused mainly on the gold deposits of the Czech Republic (Fig 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.16, 1.17) October 2017 Two members from our chapter and another two students from our faculty took part in a soil sampling and mapping session with the prospection and drilling company from Romania Formin S.A. Together with two geologists from Formin they mapped and sampled a perimeter near Beclean city, Bistrița-Năsăud county during the prospection phase for a polimetalic ore (Fig 1.18, 1.19, 1.20, 1.21, 1.22).

16 2.Overall BSC Activities (with SEG Members involved) 4-7 May 2017 National Symposium of Student Geologists and Geophysicists 18 th Edition; University of Babeș - Bolyai, Faculty of Biology and Geology; Among the many students who attended the symposium there was one BSC of SEG student with the following presentations Comparative study on the evolution of Ingressus Bear in Europe (Fig 2.1, 2.2). 2-6 August 2017 During the 2nd and 6th of August BSC of AAPG held their annual field trip in Bulgaria: Sedimentological, structural geology and hydracarbons related issues of Western and Center Balkanides. Among the atendees there was one member from our chapter (Fig 2.3, 2.4 ) September 2017 During the 4th and the 14th of september BSC of Society of Exploration Geophysicists held their annual field trip in Sacel, Maramures county. The main objective of this field trip was data acquisition using passive and active seismics, gravimetry, SEV and ERT. This field camp was attended by students from Poland, Ukraine and Bucharest, including two BSC of SEG members (Fig 2.5, 2.6).
