Geologi och geokemi

Välkommen till Institutionen för geologi och geokemi. Vi som arbetar här forskar, undervisar, bedriver studier och informerar om planeten Jorden. Undervisningen på grundnivå ger en bred kunskap om hur Jorden och dess olika delsystem fungerar, där det bland annat ingår att lära sig om bergarter, vad de består av och hur de bildas. Undervisningen på högre nivå, forskarutbildningen, sker inom ramen för tre ämnen: geologi, geokemi och marin geovetenskap. Vart och ett av dessa tre ämnen leds av en professor: Alasdair Skelton, Patrick Crill och Jan Backman.
