Fieldwork of Iuliana Vasiliev
Fieldwork in the East Carpathians
After a reconnaissance study in June 2002,
it was decided to sample - in august/september 2002 - the sequence along
the Putna Valley and Rimnicu Sarat valley.
 ....
Quite a bit of water in the Putna
river ...
As we had seen during the reconnaissance trip,
a large part of the sequence shows beautiful cycles. Ideal for the Utrecht
cyclomaniacs !
Cyclically (and vertically) bedded sands,
silts and clays in Putna valley
Iuliana picked up drilling beautiful cores
quickly. Towards younger sediments in Rimnicu Sarat, the material became
finer grained and often clayey.
 ...
Iuliana drilling under every circumstance
...
Help in the field was provided by Christina
Panaiotu (sedimentology), Marius Stoica (paleontology) and his student
Liliana, and by Christian Panaiotu. Well ... also Wout Krijgsman and Cor
Langereis occasionally did something useful.
Christina and Liliana sampling and logging
in the bushes
Christian is awed by these beautiful
wave ripples ...
The cyclicity was not alwyas straightforward,
and additional work on sediment properties is required to understand the
system.
Cycles or no cycles in Rimnicu Sarat
valley, that is the question ?
Finally, our eating and sleeping comfort
in Jitia de Jos was greatly facilitated by the Roska family. Mr. Roska's
tuica must be famous throughout the valley.
Fieldwork has been extended to Milcov
valley (East Carpathians)
