Our geology researchers study colliding continents and fossils that tell us about past worlds. We also reconstruct past environmental changes and study the Earth’s magnetic field. Other areas include the oxygen depletion of seabeds and sustainable management of natural resources. The research covers periods going back millions of years as well as today’s society. Rocks and fossils have a story to
