Working & Learning at the University of Edinburgh — Student Ambassador, Geologist, Red Lichtie

Inprevious blogs I covered studying course by course, since I came to the end of my education at the University, I shall cover what I learnt, year by year. I had a great time with the University where I learnt a lot about myself, about the rich world of geology and seen many pretty landscapes. This blog shall cover second year. Second year was very challenging, as we started the course with microscope work and crystallography. With those subjects, one needs to have an excellent understanding of physics. The laboratory work was long and gruelling. Learning new words, understanding how many shapes and angles a crystal has, than learning about X-ray diffraction, the differences between the wavelength of light, X-rays and radio waves (it did prove to be useful much later, in third year, when I was doing near surface geophysics surveys.). <a href="https://medium.com/angus-and-dundee-geosciences-society/working-learning-at-the-university-of-edinburgh-student-ambassador-geologist-red-lichtie-eca267cdcd70">Learn More</a>
