Research
The school is recognised as one of the UK's most prominent centres for international research excellence and provides a dynamic, intellectually-stimulating environment.
We're committed to the essential role of the earth sciences in understanding our planet, its history, and our place on it, and our school is ideally placed to address the major resource, hazard and environmental challenges of the next century.
The school's research is organised into six research groups with international reputation and our structures, and our intellectual strengths and ambitions are encapsulated in four cross-cutting, interdisciplinary research themes.
