Event: KIGAM Geoscience Museum Field Trip

Date: February 12, 2025 (Wed)

Location: KIGAM Geoscience Museum in International School for Geoscience Resources

Host: HYU-GETPPP

On February 12, 2025, students visited the KIGAM Geoscience Museum, Korea’s only specialized geological museum operated by the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM). 

During the visit, students explored a diverse collection of rocks, minerals, and fossils from Korea and around the world, gaining insights into the geological history and transformation of the Korean Peninsula. They also deepened their knowledge of natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic activity through interactive learning sessions.

The visit included a virtual earthquake simulation, rock classification exercises, laboratory tours, and observations of advanced geological research equipment, allowing students to engage with geoscience in a practical and applied manner.

The experience enhanced their understanding of Korea's geological history and resource management while equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement sustainable resource management technologies and disaster mitigation strategies in real-world research and industry contexts. Moving forward, these insights will help students contribute to innovative solutions in environmental sustainability and geoscience applications.
