The laboratory houses a diverse collection of megascopic rock and mineral specimens, along with microscopes, thin sections, and teaching slides for petrographic studies and mineral identification.
Advanced polarizing microscopes and digital imaging systems facilitate detailed microstructural analysis of rocks, minerals, and geological materials.
A representative collection of fossils is available for paleontological training, fossil identification, classification, and evolutionary studies.
The laboratory is equipped with sieve shakers and sediment analysis kits for grain-size distribution studies and granulometric characterization of sediments.
ERT facilities support subsurface investigations for groundwater exploration, environmental assessments, and geotechnical studies through electrical resistivity mapping.
Ground Penetrating Radar systems provide high-resolution near-surface imaging for site characterization, utility mapping, and shallow subsurface investigations.
