Teaching: Geology and Landscapes of the World

After a couple of months of busy schedule with research and training from one city to the other across the UK and Turkey, I joined my supervisor for a field excursion to teach and assist some geological phenomenon and related landscapes in Europe. Across our journey in Germany, Luxembourg and France, we examined large rift systems and associated volcanic activity, and sediment transfer dynamics until modern time. Most students were quite curious about the development of such large tectonic structures, their working dynamics, and also mineralogical composition of volcanic, plutonic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks and their development/deformation/sedimentation environments.

Some of those students, although their educational background is not Geology, have big potential to think in terms of long and short term external and internal processes and take their career towards a field with a focus on Geology or Geomorphology.

And now another teaching week in Spain for a field training is waiting for me!
