UCL Earth Sciences is engaged in world-class research into the processes at work on and within the Earth and other planets. The department has strong links with resources and hazard risk industries with most graduates find employment within academia or geoscience-related industries.
Our expertise spans the dynamics of the Earth and planets, the materials that compose them and their properties, present and past processes occurring at their surfaces, the evolution of life and the environment, and the applied geosciences of natural hazards pollution and resources.
Research areas:
- Dynamics and evolution of the crust: rock mechanics; high-pressure/high-temperature mineralogy and geochemistry
- Environmental geochemistry: pollution; hydrogeology; hydrochemistry; water resources
- Natural hazards: assessment of hazard and risk posed by geological events
- Palaeoclimate, palaeobiology and palaeoenvironments: micropalaeontology; vertebrate palaeontology; the Earth’s past climates and environments
- Satellite observation and modelling of polar climate and change
- Structure, geodynamics and evolution of the Earth and planets.
