The Industry-Academy-Student Meetings were held on the themes of "Responsible Mining" and "Mining and the Enviroment". with a focus on "Human-Enviroment-Social Life". The 3th Industry-Academia-Student Meetings were held on 22-23 October 2024, with a significant number of participants from the mining and geosciences sectors in attendance, along with academics and students.

ITU Faculty of Mines Researchers continue to unravel the mysteries of 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes.

Archaeological investigations at the Kalehisar site, led by Prof. Dr. Mustafa Kemal Şahin from Adnan Menderes University, have been complemented by an important geophysical near surface imaging conducted by Prof. Dr. Turgay İşseven and his team from the ITU Department of Geophysical Engineering.

In recent studies, deep learning-based methods have been explored to improve the interpretation of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data, particularly for the detection and classification of buried objects in near-surface investigations. Researchers from the Department of Geophysical Engineering including research assistant Orhan Apaydın and Prof. Dr. Turgay İşseven have tested deep-learning based methods during the interpretation of both synthetic and observed GPR data.

Assist Prof. Ş. Beste Aydın, Research Assist. İlkyaz Nazlım Dinç from the Department of Mineral Processing Engineering investigate Gallium Recovery Potential from LED Lamps within the framework of a new project supported by the ITU Scientific Research Project Coordination Office (İTU BAP).

Elsevier and Stanford University's annual list of the world's most influential scientists has been announced. 11 valuable professors from the Faculty of Mines in the "Annual impact" category and 11 in the "Career-long impact" category were included in the list.

Our faculty member from the Department of Geophysical Engineering has been invited to the Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors Journal.

The North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), is a tectonic structure that's really important because of the active deformation it causes in Türkiye. If we can understand how the directional dependence of seismic waves also known seismic anisotropy in the crust and mantle along this nascent shear deformation zone works, we can learn a lot about the kinematics of past and present tectonic events. Research Assistant Derya Keleş, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tuna Eken, and Prof. Dr. Tuncay Taymaz from the Department of Geophysical Engineering could map seismic anisotropy variation in an area covering northwest segment of the NAFZ.   

Within the framework of Industry – Academy collaboration, Prof. Dr. Murat Olgaç Kangal, Prof. Dr. Alim Gül, research assistants Zeynep Üçerler, and Oğuzhan Mert Gürkan from the Department of Mineral Processing Engineering and Allmineral Aufbereitungstechnik GMBH & CO. KG A2O Mineral Technologies Industry and Trade Limited Company has been conducting various tests on iron concentration
