Research Shaping the Future


At the Department of Geoscience, we work to ensure efficient and sustainable use of the Earth's geological resources. This includes everything from vital mineral resources like petroleum, groundwater, and solid minerals, to how we can best utilize the bedrock for tunnels, infrastructure, and underground facilities. At the same time, we focus on safety—our research helps society manage risks related to rockslides, landslides, and other geological natural hazards.

The Department has four research groups:

Engineering geology

Geology and geophysics 

Mineral production 

Well and reservoir
