Research
Faculty in the Department of Geosciences conduct research in most sub-disciplines of geosciences,
but with particular emphasis on the following geologic, atmospheric and hydrologic areas:
Carbonate sedimentology Clay mineralogy Climate change and variability Climate diagnostics Climate modeling Diagenesis Fluvial geomorphology Geochemistry Glacial geology Groundwater-surface water interactions Land-atmosphere interactions Marine geology Micropaleontology Mineral deposits Ocean chemistry Organic geochemistry Paleoclimatology Paleolimnology and paleohydrology Petroleum geology Petrology Quaternary environments Remote sensing Sedimentology Sequence Stratigraphy Stratigraphy Structure-tectonics Surface hydrology / ecohydrology modeling Surficial processes and landscape evolution Urban/engineering geology Vertebrate paleontology Atmospheric chemistry Atmospheric convection Atmospheric radiative transfer Boundary layer dynamics Chemistry-meteorology coupled modeling Climate change and variability Climate diagnostics Climate modeling Data assimilation Hydrometeorology Instrumentation Land-atmosphere interactions Limnology Mesoscale processes Paleoclimatology Paleolimnology and paleohydrology Polar weather and climate Radiative energy budget Remote sensing Severe weather Surface hydrology / ecohydrology modeling Weather analysis and forecasting Aquatic biogeochemistry Aqueous geochemistry Aquifer hydraulics and hydrogeophysics Atmospheric chemistry Chemical and physical hydrogeology Chemistry-meteorology coupled modeling Climate change and variability Fluvial geomorphology Geochemistry Glacial geology Groundwater-surface water interactions Grounwater-surface water interactions Hydrogeologic modeling Hydrogeophysics and aquifer hydraulics Hydrology Hydrometeorology Land-atmosphere interactions Limnology Micropaleontology Paleoclimatology Paleolimnology and paleohydrology Physical and chemical hydrogeology Quaternary environments Surface hydrology / ecohydrology modeling Surface water - groundwater interactions Surficial processes and landscape evolution
