School of GeoSciences
Browse by
The School of GeoSciences is organised into the following Research Institutes:
-
Earth and Planetary Science: geology and geophysics relevant to resources, natural hazards, earth dynamics, and the environment.
-
Geography and the Lived Environment: understanding connections between people, society and the environment.
-
Global Change: understanding of past, present and future changes in the Earth system through measurements, theory, and computational modelling.
The School has a very diverse research portfolio, with researchers leading or contributing to a wide range of groups, centres and multi-institutional consortia.
