Invitation to Congress

Geology has always had a significant impact on human society and the way it has evolved. As society and technology evolve, global demand for natural resources is becoming increasingly more important. We as geologists are well aware that discovering, utilizing, quantifying and managing geological resources and natural hazards require significant knowledge about the underlying geological processes. On the other hand, as we consume the natural resources, we affect and change our surroundings. Managing and sustaining the environment require understanding of interaction between human actions and Earth`s dynamics. As Earth`s population grows, understanding the impact of the Earth`s dynamics on the human life, and the way of interaction between Earth`s dynamics and human life becomes increasingly important.  

64th Geological Congress of Turkey, one of the long-term scientific activities of the country, will be held between 25 and 29th of April 2011 in General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration (MTA), Ankara, Turkey. Main goal of Congress is to underline importance of different disciplines of the geology on the human and social life and on the increasing energy demand. We hope that the Congress will bring the universities, public and private sector organizations together and create a scientific discussion and social sharing platform.

Topics of the Congress consist of different aspects of geology, human and society interaction; discovery, exploration and effective use of fossil and renewable energy resources and other natural resources, environmental issues, water resources, as well as essential issues on geology. 

We invite all earth-scientists to attend and contribute to the Congress, which will be held in the capital city of Turkey.
