Faculty in the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences field study three main themes: geology, climate and meteorology, and soils

Specific research areas include:

• soil biology, soil physics and soil chemistry
• glacial geology
• geobiology
• geochemistry
• climate modelling
• micrometeorology
• soil and land resource management
