Mengapa belajar geologi?
Pengertian dan cara belajar geologi
Geology is the study of the Earth as a whole,
its origin, structure, composition, and
history (including the development of life),
and the nature of the processes which have
given rise to its present state.


Whitten, DGA and Brooks, JRV. 1977. The Penguin
Dictionary of Geology. Middlesex: Penguin Books. p.
204.
Mengikuti pendidikan kebumian
Lokatama untuk belajar geologi:
Perpustakaan termasuk internet
Laboratorium (studio) dan museum geologi
Lapangan
Sebagaimana pembelajaran ilmu alam yang lain,
dalam menghadapi bahan atau fenomena geologi
perlu dilakukan:
Observasi (pengamatan),
Analisis, dan
Sintesis

Pengertian dan cara belajar geologi
Perhatikan
Belum dikatakan belajar geologi jika belum ke
perpustakaan, laboratorium, dan lapangan
(survei)!
Apakah FTM UPN Veteran Yogyakarta
memfasilitasi pembelajaran di 3 (tiga) lokatama
termasuk museum tersebut di atas?

Why study geology?
The Cradle of
Civilization
(Fertile
Crescent)
Development
limited by
availability, e.g.,
soil, water,
energy
Conflicts based
on resources,
e.g., water,
minerals, oil

1. Geological Resources
Why study geology?
The Cradle of Civilization sprung from geology of the region
Tigris River, Iraq

1. Geological Resources
These Maps illustrate the
Fertile Crescent in 1973 (top)
and 2000 (bottom).
Permanent marshlands,
pictured in green, have shrunk
90 percent in that period.

Slope Failure Risk Assessment and Control
To prevent slope failure engineers must understand
the geology that forms and controls the slope
