From April 30 to May 2, 2024, the President of the SEG Bucharest Student Chapter, Ana-Elena Suditu, the former President, Daria-Elena Măciucă, and the Secretary, Andreea-Mihaela Răducanu, attended the “Summit on Geophysical Detection of Explosive Remnants of War”. This summit focused on addressing the pressing issues surrounding unexploded ordnance and demining efforts. Their participation underscores our commitment to contributing to global safety and the advancement of geophysical education and practices.

Geofizica este o disciplină esențială pentru dezvoltarea durabilă și sustenabilă a zonelor urbane, iar recenta situație de la Slănic Prahova relevă importanța crucială a studiilor geofizice în prevenirea cazurilor de subsidență accentuată a terenului. Astfel de studii sunt vitale nu doar în diagnosticarea problemelor, ci și în sprijinirea eforturilor de elaborare a soluțiilor tehnice adecvate pentru remedierea și prevenirea lor.

Acesta este spiritul cu care SEG Bucharest Student Chapter, afliliat Facultǎții de Geologie şi Geofizicǎ din cadrul Universității din București, în parteneriat cu Societatea Română de Geofizică Aplicată (SGAR) și GEOTESTING C.I, a organizat workshop-ul „Urban Geophysics”, sub coordonarea doamnei profesor Lector Dr. Ing. Florina Mihaela Țuluca.

În decursul a trei zile, participanții au explorat potențialul de utilitate al geofizicii în peisajul urban al Bucureștiului. Workshop-ul a debutat cu o discuție privind imperativele siguranței în muncă și aplicabilitatea acestora în contextul urban actual, pregătind participanții pentru provocările de pe teren.

În ziua dedicată activităților pe teren, participanții au realizat profile de tomografie de rezistivitate electrică (ERT) de rezoluție ridicată.

Finalul atelierului a adus cu sine procesul de analiză şi interpretare a datelor în laboratoarele Facultății de Geologie și Geofizicǎ de la Universitatea din București.

Prin intermediul acestui workshop, am reafirmat angajamentul nostru pentru educație continuă, precum și contribuția la dezvoltarea durabilă a mediului urban bucureștean. Ne bucurăm sǎ fim parte a unei comunități care îmbrățișează provocările moderne cu entuziasm științific.

În viitor ne propunem să continuǎm sǎ derulăm astfel de acțiuni în cadrul proiectului „Urban Geophysics II”, unde vom aborda problema intens dezbătută de mass-media națională a localității Slănic Prahova.

———-
Geophysics is an essential discipline for the sustainable development of urban areas, and the recent situation in Slănic Prahova highlights the crucial importance of geophysical studies in preventing cases of severe land subsidence. Such studies are vital not only for diagnosing problems but also for supporting efforts to develop appropriate technical solutions to remedy and prevent them.

This is the spirit with which the SEG Bucharest Student Chapter, affiliated with the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Bucharest, in partnership with the Romanian Society of Applied Geophysics (SGAR) and GEOTESTING C.I, organized the ‘Urban Geophysics’ workshop, under the coordination of Lecturer Dr. Eng. Florina Mihaela Țuluca.

Over the course of three days, participants explored the utility potential of geophysics in the urban landscape of Bucharest. The workshop began with a discussion on the imperatives of workplace safety and their applicability in the current urban context, preparing participants for field challenges.

On the day dedicated to field activities, participants conducted high-resolution electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) profiles.

The workshop concluded with the process of data analysis and interpretation in the laboratories of the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Bucharest.

Through this workshop, we reaffirmed our commitment to continuous education, as well as contributing to the sustainable development of the urban environment in Bucharest. We are pleased to be part of a community that embraces modern challenges with scientific enthusiasm.

In the future, we plan to continue these actions within the ‘Urban Geophysics II’ project, where we will address the intensively debated issue by the national media of Slănic Prahova.

Pe data de 22 martie 2024, SEG Bucharest Student Chapter în colaborare cu Institutul Național de Cercetare-Dezvoltare pentru Fizica Pământului a organizat o vizită în cadrul bazei de cercetare de la Măgurele.

🌐 SEG Bucharest Student Chapter Outreach Project🎓

Our journey commenced with a series of visits to high schools, where our mission was to promote geophysics and ignite curiosity among students. The resounding success of these endeavors became the driving force behind the extraordinary event that unfolded at the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics on December 16. Motivated by the enthusiasm and engagement witnessed during our high school visits, SEG Bucharest Student Chapter orchestrated a compelling initiative to introduce students to the fascinating world of geophysics and shed light on the diverse career paths within this field.

We were honored to have Assoc. PhD. Eng. Bogdan-Mihai Niculescu join us. Through captivating visuals and insights into our past projects, the profesor provided a deeper understanding of the dynamic world of geophysics.

After a refreshing break, we dove into a hands-on workshop focused on magnetometry surveys. Witnessing the students' enthusiasm as they conducted their first geophysical measurements coordinated by Assoc. PhD. Eng. Bogdan-Mihai Niculescu and PhD. Mǎdǎlina-Maria Bucur was truly rewarding. The ability to visualize and interpret the obtained data added a practical dimension to their learning.

To add an extra layer of excitement to the day, students had the opportunity to explore the impressive rocks and fossils collection at the faculty. It was a hands-on encounter with Earth’s history that complemented their geophysics education.

This year's Outreach project was a resounding success, with students actively engaging and showing genuine enthusiasm at every stage. We take pride in fostering curiosity and passion for geophysics among the next generation.

A heartfelt thank you to all participants, volunteers, and especially Assoc. PhD. Eng. Bogdan-Mihai Niculescu for contributing to the success of this event. Together, we are shaping the future of geophysics!

🌍 Exploring the Hidden Treasures Beneath Mangalia: A Geophysical Adventure 🌋

From August 27th to September 4th, an intrepid team of geophysics enthusiasts embarked on a thrilling journey in the vicinity of Mangalia, a historic port city on the Romanian coast. Organized by the SEG Bucharest Student Chapter in collaboration with the Geological Institute of Romania and the Romanian Society of Geophysics, this field camp was a quest to unveil the secrets hidden beneath the earth's surface.

🧭 Geophysical Exploration in Mangalia 🧭

Using geophysical methods such as Vertical Electrical Sondage (VES), Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Magnetometry, we discovered the thermo-mineral springs of the aquifer complex from Mangalia which emerge both inland and also along the coast, between Saturn, Venus and Jupiter seaside resorts.

🔍 Understanding the Aquifer Complex 🔍

Through Vertical Electrical Sondage (VES), we gained insights into the subsurface's electrical properties, allowing us to map the aquifer complex with unprecedented accuracy. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) helped us create detailed cross-sectional images of the underground structures, while Magnetometry revealed subtle magnetic anomalies.

🌊 A Coastal Revelation 🌊

One of the most astonishing findings was that these thermo-mineral springs didn't remain confined to the inland areas. They also emerged along the coastlines of Saturn, Venus, and Jupiter seaside resorts. This discovery not only adds to the geological significance of the region but also presents exciting opportunities for sustainable tourism and resource management.

👣 A Journey of Collaboration and Discovery 👣

The success of this field camp was a testament to the power of collaboration. The combined efforts of the SEG Bucharest Student Chapter, the Geological Institute of Romania, and the Romanian Society of Geophysics transformed an ordinary field trip into a remarkable scientific expedition.

🌟 Unveiling Nature's Secrets: What's Next? 🌟

Our work has only just begun. The discoveries made during this field camp open doors to further research, preservation, and sustainable utilization of Mangalia's valuable geothermal resources. As we return from this adventure, we carry not just data but a sense of wonder and a deeper connection to the Earth's mysteries.

🏆 A Special Thanks to Our Valued Partner 🏆

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Society of Exploration Geophysics for their unwavering support and generous sponsorship, which made this remarkable journey of discovery in Mangalia possible.
