Dissertation mapping in Romania in 2018 with Hunor Deak

This trip helped me to write my dissertation.

Romania

It was a great trip! The area visited was located in Romania, in Harghita. It was a large-scale igneous intrusion into the Tulghes, Rebra-Negrisoara metamorphic unit. I was interested in the area due to not being able to afford mapping in the UK. I was also interested in the complex geology of the metamorphic and the complex minerology of the igneous intrusion.
My main finds are a map generated of the area which shows a complex igneous intrusion made of nepheline-white syenite and red syenite, intruded into 3 distinct metamorphic layers, which were originally deep-sea sediments. The area underwent several complex subduction-based deformation processes. The igneous intrusion despite being nepheline syenite had granitic elements to, showcasing the absorption of the schist layers into the igneous intrusion.
I visited several surrounding areas to gain a better understanding of the regional geology.

I undertook 4 weeks of mapping in Harghita, Romania and wrote a 10,000 word thesis based on the results.

  The Universe is Funny Hunor Traian Deak Nov 17  · 4 min read The Universe is funny, Don’t you believe it? It exists, Yet scientists are not sure of it. The Earth is big yet so tiny in the sky, The stars above of us certainly shine bright, Yet it is the brightness of the past, When the Moon falls and the stars are chased away, The Dawn has came and it is here to stay. Its colours dance across the sky, from the strange pink light, To the burnt orange of sighs as the golden globe herself rises. Suddenly, the sky is all too blue, With dancing clouds on the horizon, White as the apron of the breakfast table, The green of the grass reflects in the sky blue contrast, As the lakes bellow the mountain reflect the Royal Blue of the sky, The day passes us by, with some lunch brought out in hindsight, As after a refreshing shower, the sunset has come by. Dusk is upon us with the same burnt orange colour, The sun saying her goodbyes to us weary travellers. I wonder into the hou...

Hunor Deak: Scottish Geology Trust inspires Angus man to lay foundation for society celebrating Tayside landscape

  https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/local/angus-mearns/1800424/tayside-geology-society-set-up/ S cottish Geology Trust inspires Angus man to lay foundation for society celebrating Tayside landscape. The early success of the trust has now inspired Arbroath man Hunor Deak to create a group focused on the geological treasures on the area’s doorstep — among them the Angus town’s distinctive red sandstone cliffs. New society will align with aims of Scottish Geology Trust. Hunor, 23, said: “If there was one place in the world you could go to understand how the planet works, why climate changes, why life evolved — Scotland would be it. “The diversity of geology in Scotland has underpinned some of the greatest discoveries about how the world works.” He said understanding of the earth was essential if we want to have a planet we can still live on in the future and the importance of the trust had been underlined by the support for the crowdfunder from multiple universities and internation...

Geology Poems from the Here and the Beyond

Image
  Why do I write poems? Poetry helps me explore my inner worlds. It helps me to shift through the different science subjects I have encountered and help me place it within my own philosophy. It is a way for me to process the material I have learnt in lectures, seminars and on the field trips. Poetry gives me a sense of wonder on the subject of geology. I can explain concepts such as deep time, massive volcanic eruptions or the landscape being carved open by glaciers, with the magic of poetry. Why should geologists explore poetry? I think poems are a great way to connect with the public and show an artistic side of the science of geology. The poems help a scientist get closer to the public. The poems make subjects accessible for everyone. Instead of presenting the material as dry and STEM focused, poems help to highlight science to a public who otherwise wouldn’t be interested in the modern discoveries of geology. Down bellow I will publish all the poems I have written down on paper...
