In 2024, particularly our early career researchers and engineers from the Departments of Mining, Geological, Petroleum and Natural Gas, Geophysical, and Mineral Processing Engineering, as well as researchers and engineers from all around the world, presented findings from their completed and ongoing works during the weekly organized faculty seminars. Face-to-face seminars were held from January to December 2024 at the Ihsan Ketin Conference Hall. These seminars were open to all ITU students and faculty members, creating an opportunity to deepen and enrich the discussion environment among experts from different disciplines of earth sciences.
