The Bachelor of Science program in Geoscience offered by Mahidol University, Kanchanaburi Campus, is also actively working to address the shortage of geoscience professionals. This is achieved through the establishment of the “Geological Park and Geoscience Museum,” covering an area of approximately 70 acres. The park serves as an outdoor geoscience learning center that emphasizes hands-on learning experiences with real rocks, as well as representative models of rocks, minerals, and fossils from various regions of Thailand. These exhibits are showcased along the path in the Geoscience Park, organized according to geological ages ranging from the Precambrian era (more than 542 million years ago) to the present day.
The Geological Park is a collection of large rocks, ranging from the oldest geological periods in Thailand to the present day. The educational path within the park spans over 2 kilometers, and visitors can explore it using an Electric Tram. Each rock sample is equipped with a QR code for further study.
The Geoscience Museum is a collection of rocks from around the world, generously contributed by various universities worldwide. The rocks span different geological periods, from the earliest epochs to the present day. Additionally, the museum houses fossils and has received satellite imagery support from GISTDA for presenting geological maps. There is also a cinema room that features presentations related to geoscience. Visitors can explore the museum through a Virtual Tour.
