Course Goal / Objective
"Geological Heritage" is accepted as the natural beauties (fossils, minerals, gemstones, metals, sinkholes, sand dunes, caves, volcanoes, etc.) to ensure the protection of future generations, and to transfer them to raise awareness of students, who are new to geology "geological heritage, geotourism and geoparks" concepts and Turkey´s "Natural Monument qualified Geologic Formations" .
Course Content
Concepts related to Geological Heritage. Foreign and domestic institutions on Geological Heritage, Geological Heritage lists and their importance and conservation, Geological heritage and the importance of education, List of Turkey´s geological heritage, geotourism capacity geopark sites
