Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
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
