Baldermann’s lessons concerned different topics of the paleo-geographic conditions of the Miocene period: clay minerals application in civil engineering and geology, the role of authigenic clay minerals in the biogeochemical cycle of iron and Paleo-climate evolution of Miocene sediments from the Valley of Lakes (Mongolia) revealed by multi-proxy approach.

Academician Ramiz Mammadov, which introduced the three-day meeting, welcomed the participants underlining the importance of the seminary, which aimed at promoting the development of scientific and practical cooperation between ANAS and the universities involved.

During the last day, it was held a workshop on “Geology of the Miocene Eastern Paratethys” which involved the director and scientists of ANAS institute, researchers of Institute of Geology and Geophysics, geologists of SOCAR and BP as well as professors and PhD, master and bachelor students participated in the workshop. Dr Yelena Tagiyeva from the Institute of Geography, Dr Shafag Bayramova from Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Prof Dr Sachsenhofer from Montana University, Nazim Abdullayev from BP gave a talk and discussed the geology of Miocene the Eastern Paratethys.

For the first time our Company supported the Geoday, the two-day long event organized by the Department of Geological Sciences of the University of Bologna to celebrate the four centuries of the Faculty in our city. Open museums and open lessons; stands where it will be possible discover something more about vulcanology, speleology and petrografy; tours around the medieval centre of Bologna with guides that will show you something you never noticed before…A great event that last year registered thousands of participants.

The participation at the Geoday has been really positive for our Company, the event presented interesting opportunities to meet students and teachers, to talk about Geology with visitors, academics, researchers… and to spread the knowledge of our reality.
