Bilateral Cooperation with the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS)

The project titled ''Changes in Rock Mass Properties After Wildfires'' directed by our department member Prof. Dr. Tolga Görüm on the Turkish side, and Dr. Jan Blahut from the Czech Academy of Sciences on the Czechia side, has been funded by TÜBİTAK - Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS) Bilateral Cooperation Support Programme.
