The annual field course in Geology for 2011 took place in Bigar, Caras-Severin County, for geological mapping with freshmen in Geology. For the first time, a sophomore in Biology participated (Laura, congratulations!), and also Dr. Artur Kedzior (Krakow, Poland), a long time friend and collaborator, joined and kindly helped the group (Artur, thanks!).
