Geology and Geophysics are allied disciplines that explore and interpret not only the Earth's landscapes and subsurface but also the processes that have formed and shaped them through the planet's four and a half billion year history.
The Department of Geology and Geophysics is at the forefront of innovative research in earth sciences, focusing on areas such as tectonics, sedimentology, petrology, and environmental geoscience. We explore key issues like natural resource management and geohazards with our interdisciplinary approach driving new insights and sustainable solutions.
We welcome PhD applications from highly motivated students keen to contribute to impactful research, offering a supportive and collaborative environment that fosters academic excellence and professional development.
Interdisciplinary Centre for Energy Transition
The department hosts the Interdisciplinary Centre for Energy Transition. This interdisciplinary group brings together Energy Transition research from across the University.
