Welcome to the Department of Earth Science
GEO embodies research and research based education - within central geological and geophysical diciplines, specifically marine geoscience, petroleum, climate and earth quake-seismology. The research is conducted on land and sea all over the globe.
The department has more than 110 research positions and 32 technical/administrative positions. Our employees are from more than 30 different countries.
