9th NATIONAL TRAINING WORKSHOP ON OPTICAL MICROSCOPY & ADVANCE GEOLOGICAL LABORATORY TECHNIQUES
Mineral resources are backbone of economy of any country. Their systematic exploitation and development bring socio-economic progress and help in achieving self-reliance. The Geoscience Laboratory, Geological Survey of Pakistan is well equipped not only with classical but also with state-of-the-art equipment used for research and development of mineral sector. With experts in the field of hard rocks, it is responsibility of the Geological Survey of Pakistan to train interested geoscientists who can carry on the legacy.
As a part of its academic support and human resource development program, the Geoscience Advance Research Laboratories, GSP is organizing its 9th National Workshop on Optical Microscopy & Advance Geological Laboratory Techniques. This training has tremendous applications in the fields of mineralogy, economic geology and exploration.
