Earth Science

Are you interested in our planet, its evolution through time, the environment and a sustainable future? At the Department of Earth Sciences, you learn about the processes and events that have built and continue to shape the conditions of Earth. Using this as a point of departure for understanding the complex world we live in, and how we affect it, is one of the great challenges of mankind.
