Research in the Department of Geology is focused in three principal groups: Crustal Processes, Palaeobiology, and Geophysics & Borehole Research. It involves work that is internationally recognised at the highest levels.

Each of the research groups is engaged in national and international collaborative and interdisciplinary activities. We welcome enquiries from UK, European and overseas research students, postdoctoral and academic researchers interested in working in a thriving, active, well-found university research environment at the leading edge of research in the Earth Sciences. We also engage in range of cross disciplinary environmental research.
