School of Environmental Sciences

We investigate the Earth's core and mantle, dynamic lithosphere and crust, and tectonic processes expressed at its surface in the form of volcanoes and earthquakes. We study past and present oceans to understand how they influence the climate system and the cycling of elements. We are interested in the shaping of land past and present, from the building of mountains to their erosion by water, wind, and ice.
