Geosciences

In close cooperation with our international partners, we apply geographical concepts and intensive fieldwork methods to understand and address a range of important issues affecting the Asia-Pacific region.

Our interests lie in understanding the origin and evolution of early life on Earth and the dynamics of Precambrian provinces with multiphase thermal and deformational histories.

From using geo-spatial technology and paleo-environmental techniques to detect and measure environmental change to evaluating environmental protection regimes, our researchers are helping us achieve a sustainable future.

Exploring mutual interests of geocoastal research with the fields of marine geoscience, coastal marine ecology, paleo-environmental change and geochemistry, and coastal engineering.

Investigating aspects of resource exploration, including hydrocarbon and mineral resources based on petrographic, geochemical, computational and geophysical methods.

We are interested in a wide range of natural and technological hazards and our work explores the characteristics of natural hazards and their impacts on people, communities and human systems.

We are developing an experimental virtual planet to assimilate sparse geological observations into deep time Earth models to understand the intricate pathways in Earth’s evolution.

Geological and geochemical research in marine, estuarine and riverine environments.

We investigate geophysical methods are applied at all scales from the study of the behaviour core samples through to the entire earth.

Understanding the processes affecting the structure of the Earth's lithosphere, its resources, its environment and biodiversity.

We study the processes that are driving geographical change, and use our knowledge to influence policy and public discussion, often in collaboration with researchers from other disciplines and practitioners.
