National Taiwan Ocean University
Exchange semester

• Gained a geological and tectonic overview of the Zermatt area
• Observed ophiolite of the Saas-Zermatt-Zone and eclogite-facies metamorphism

Oceanography Practice in Bohai Bay, Qingdao, Shandong (China)

• Learned how to use the equipment and conduct offshore scientific research on a
  research vessel
• Operated submarine multi-beam equipment to detect the submarine topography

Geophysics Practice in Tao Village, Qixia, Yantai, Shandong (China)

• Organised fieldwork as a group and presented our results
• Used applied geophysical exploration methods to detect underground and dam
  structures, including seismic reflection, controlled-source electromagnetic method, magnetotelluric method, and ground-penetrating radar

Geological Practice (New Zealand)

• Attended seminar in GNS Science about how they monitor the geothermal system
• Fieldtrip to Taupo volcanic zone and Auckland volcanic field
• Observed the basalt columnar joints in the waterfall reserve and the bedrock  coast

Xingcheng Geological Practice, Hulu Island, Liaoning (China)

• Teamed up to complete geological stratifications, completed tasks of sectional drawing and field geological mapping
• Observed large structures like thrust nappe structures, folds and fractures
• Gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between geological structures and their genesis, as well as stratigraphic sedimentary and sedimentary environment

Geological Practice in Tao Village, Qixia, Yantai, Shandong (China)

• Identified structures and the fault of Tao Village
• Got familiar with metamorphic rocks, sedimentary rocks and magmatic rocks; observed large fractures, anticlines and joint structures; and learned how to trace the fault in the field
• Completed the geological research report and the geological map of the Taocun Area of Qixia
