It has recently been announced by NASA that it draws attention with its similarity to Mars and that a science base will be established in Salda Lake, the center of research. It was also reported that the previously initiated project has been completed, very important data has been obtained and this data will be sent to NASA.
Salda Lake, which has been in the focus of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a long time and therefore flooded by people, has been brought to the agenda again with important news today.

İnce continued his explanation as follows:
“In Salda Lake, which has a very rich microbiological potential, bacteria families that we think contain important clues in microbial evolution in the world are densely located. in Salda Lake to be patented on internationally prestigious platforms. first gene sequences of microorganisms obtained. All of these will provide a qualified data bank for NASA’s studies on Mars.”
A science base is being established in Salda Lake:
prof. Dr. Bahar İnce continued in her statement that the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change It has decided to establish a science research center in the Salda Lake basin. also announced. İnce stated that this center will start its activities in the near future and that interdisciplinary scientists will take place in the center. He also added that it is aimed to carry out advanced scientific research projects with international collaborations and that it is desired to be a platform that will contribute to young researchers in our country.
