PhD Geology and Geophysics in Edinburgh United Kingdom | The University of Edinburgh

This program leverages the knowledge of the Earth and Planetary Sciences Research Institute, where more than 100 researchers collaborate with a shared passion for studying Earth's composition, structure, and evolution, along with the ongoing processes that mold our planet.

Our wide-ranging expertise spans Geology, Geophysics, Geochemistry, and Geodynamics, enabling us to pioneer cutting-edge interdisciplinary approaches to Earth Science's most pressing questions. We explore subsurface systems at every scale—from atomic to tectonic—and across timeframes spanning seconds to billions of years.
Earth Science extends beyond academic pursuit; it provides critical solutions to humanity's greatest challenges. Our researchers are at the forefront of addressing global issues like sustainable energy, geological hazards, and climate change. This leadership is demonstrated by our strong track record in securing research funding from both public and private sectors.
