| Work Experience | My project experience is mainly geological, hydrogeological studies since 1973, as field geology, hydrogeology and hydrochemistry related to the groundwater and thermal and mineral waters. I worked between the years of 1973-1990 at the Department of Energy in Mineral Research and Exploration General Directorate of Turkey (MTA) and have been working since 1990 at Hacettepe University, Department of Geological Engineering. Some of my special projects are as follows: Geological Survey and Geothermal Exploration and Development Projects in Turkey; Hydrogeological Investigation for Development and Protection of Pamukkale Thermal Waters and Travertines; Geological, Hydrogeological and Hydrogeochemical Investigation and Protection Studies of Ihlara (Cappadocia-Central Anatolia) Special Protection Area; The Geothermal Investigation in Marmara Region; Isotope survey of Geothermal Systems of Central Anatolia; Hydrogeological and Balneological Investigation of Geothermal Waters in Turkey; In |
