»Ê¼Ò»ªÈË

One of Europe’s leading multidisciplinary academic centres for hazard and risk research & education.

Crystallography and Mineral Physics

Research into to the composition, structure, dynamics and evolution of the Earth and terrestrial planets.

Chemical & isotopic investigations of natural materials using analytical & experimental approaches to investigate processes both now and in the past.

To understand how continents deform and surface topography develops over different spatial/temporal scales.

Earth Resources Centre

We research all aspects of Earth Resources, from the geological processes which form them to better methods for exploration, extraction, processing and remediation.

Palaeontology

The study of past life from the smallest & most abundant fossils to the largest animals ever to walk on land, the gigantic sauropod dinosaurs, and includes the search for Earth’s oldest organisms.

Precambrian Research

For over a century, we have known that crucial steps along the path to the modern earth system took place during the first four billion years of our planet’s existence.

Rock & Ice Physics Laboratory

Understanding the physical behaviour of ice and rocks making up the surface and interior solid bodies in the solar system

Understanding fundamental processes governing earthquake genesis, Earth's interior and their evolution.
