GSJ International Training Course on Practical Geological Survey Techniques 2019
- Application to Geological Disaster Mitigation -
4 - 21 June 2019, Tsukuba

Summary Report

The GSJ International Training Course on Practical Geological Survey Techniques 2019 - application to geological disaster mitigation-, the second one funded by GeoBank, was held for three weeks from June 4 and was successfully completed on June 21, 2019.

This year, officially nominated trainees from nine of the CCOP member countries, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, participated in the training course. After 2-day and 1-day field excursions, they enthusiastically attended intensive lectures on practical geological survey skills, and experienced many hands-on works based on geological maps and databases and experiments with the latest laboratory equipment, while they deepened friendship with other trainees and lecturers.

We are glad to receive favorable remarks from the trainees this time again. Improving the training contents further based on the feedbacks from both trainees and lecturers, we will announce the details of the third training course in early 2020.

In the end, we would like to express our gratitude to those who participated in and supported the training course: the trainees, the lecturers, the staffs, and the contributors to GeoBank.
