First Fieldtrip

When I was in first semester, at the end of semester I have physical geology and Mineralogy, Crystalography Fieldtrip. The purpose of this fieldtrip is  using the knowledge that we learn in class and laboratory to be aplied in field. There we practice using geological tools like compass, rock hammer, and loupe, and we also practice how to write fieldnote correctly and well.

The first we did when we arrived in stopside, we should plot the location we were in our map. To decide the position we could use GPS or by field orientation. After that we could observe what's going on the field with the objects are geomorphology, litology (petrology), geological structure, and engineering geology where were there

In this fieldtrip we have some stopside. These about my first fieldtrip.

First Stopside (1st station) : Kali Progo (Progo River), in Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta

Progo River, December 2009

Alluvial deposite of  Progo River (Kali Progo),  December, 2009

Second stopside, Mujil Hill, in Kulonprogo, still a part of  Kulonprogo Plato

At street side of Kulonprogo, we were listening  lecture by Mr. Salahudin

and practicing  how to decide  the position by  field orientation

Mujil hill, an isolated hill which surrounded by Kulonprogo montains,

or  commonly  called as  Kulonprogo Plato  

Third stopside, nearby Mujil Hill

We were searching gypsum minerals, hematite, limonite,

and quatrz  to described

Fourth stopside: in Sentolo, Kulonprogo

here is our face when we ere heating in the field, being tired,, pain, thisty

and hungry, just dreaming the bed. The handsame one is my friend, Damar

Carbonate Sandstone in Sentolo, belong to Sentolo Formation

Ansori (front) and rochman (behind) show a boulder of  Andesit rock

Fifeth Stopside: in Wates, Kulonprogo

Lava andesit to be bedrock of stream, rich of pyroxene, colors gray rather to bright green

Quartz vein in lava andesite which associated with pyrite and gold

Tunnel of convention gold mining in wates, parallel to strike of quatz vein 

Last stopside: at Gelagah Beach.

Here we learn about beach landscape, but we also can see sandbeach, a kind of dunes, the product of eolian.

Session photo after we have worked hard for today, since sunrise until sunset

sunset in Gelagah beach, Marlin (left) and Tigor (right) didn't wanna  miss  this  moment

so they  wanna me to take this picture. nice picture :)

The way to back home

Finally we were going to home, yeah that's all my first fieldtrip.. so tired, hungry, thisty, full of pain and confusion. But guys,,because we trhougt it together it felt happy and it's to be our fist experience working in field.

What is Geotraveller??

Well guys in this post I will let you know more about this blog. Geotraveller is another one of my blog. I hope you not forget The Journey of Geologist,, yap that's my first blog. This blog is still apart of The Journey of Geologist, because this blog tells about the geologist travelling.

I create this blog aim to share my travelling. Because of my study in geological engineering, I often have a trip to somewhere. Started from fieldtrip on first semester, my geotravelling is beginning, and I'm going to love travelling. May be in my blog, you will see more nature travelling than culture travelling because my concern is about nature.

In geological engineering I learn about earth and nature,  and it teach me how to love the nature. Earth is the best place to live, and it's amazing planet. So guys,If you have holiday, I suggest you should try having travelling to nature like beach, montain etc, you will see how beautiful this nature, n you'll feel peacefulness from nature. But in other side if you're going to mining site or industrial site you will se how this nature was destroyed. There's no beatiful anymore, but just breakage. And is there any peacefulness?? You can ask to the citizen who live around the mining site, or industrial site, are they live in peacefulness?? they will said NOT.

Therefore we should to save our nature, not only explore and exploit, but we must conserve and recover it . By travelling to the nature you will more love our earth than destroying it.

Wish you like it,, :)

Regards,

Leloy
