Research
Our standing in the world is built on our expert application of the enabling sciences – mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology – to address the big questions and challenges facing the Earth sciences. We take a broad, integrative view to answer questions ranging from the Earth’s formation from the mixture of dust and gas orbiting around the sun, through all the processes determining Earth’s evolutionary history, to predicting the future state of our oceans and climate.
Our research areas reflect the School's cross-disciplinary approach to earth sciences.
RSES has several specialised research groups and teams within our three research areas: Climate and Ocean Geoscience, Geochemistry, and Geophysics.
Below we list current research topics in RSES, with links to relevant researchers and research groups. For a list of potential student projects and PhD topics, please refer to the potential project student page.
The Research School of Earth Sciences hosts world-class equipment, which is maintained by experienced technical staff.
