Our goal is to enhance fundamental, quantitative insights into key geological processes on Earth and throughout the Solar System to address scientific, engineering, and societal challenges.
We focus on developing quantitative knowledge of Earth and planetary materials to uncover the mechanisms, drivers, and timescales of dynamic processes within our Solar System. The energy of our research community stems from our extensive postgraduate student body. At Glasgow, we adopt a holistic approach to study, combining world-class expertise in physical and human geography, geology, and geomatics. Postgraduate students enjoy numerous fieldwork opportunities, from brief local excursions near Glasgow to extended residential trips that may include international travel.
