At the Department of Earth Sciences, our mission is to deepen scientific understanding of the Earth, its environment, and planetary systems. We place fundamental science at the core of tackling today’s most pressing global challenges—and those of tomorrow.
Working at the forefront of issues such as future energy, climate change, critical resources, and environmental hazards, we bring together expertise in geology, mathematics, geophysics, and geochemistry to provide a powerful framework for conducting cutting‑edge, impactful research.
Our research is driven by a commitment to:
- Understanding and mitigating environmental risks in a rapidly changing world
- Supporting the transition to a carbon-neutral future
- Promoting sustainable and responsible access to Earth’s natural resources
