Prof. Dr. Ali Van | | Language of instruction | Turkish | | Professional practise ( internship ) | None | | | | The aim of the course: | | provides geology students with the basic knowledge of processes leading to formation of mineral deposits, teaches them practical tips for understanding and evaluating mineralized and unmineralized samples in the immediate vicinity of mineral deposits, and ways of recognizing hydrothermal alteration patterns. The course also teaches known models of mineral deposits with best examples from around the globe. Mineral deposit types present in Turkey are also given due interest. |
