Introduction of Earth and Planetary Sciences:

Earth and Planetary Sciences research encompasses the study of our planet, its geological history, and the celestial bodies that populate our solar system and beyond.

Geology and Geophysics:

Investigating the Earth’s structure, composition, and processes, including the study of earthquakes, volcanoes, and plate tectonics.

Climatology and Climate Change:

Studying Earth’s climate system, weather patterns, and the impact of human activities on global climate change.

Planetary Geology:

Exploring the geology and history of other planets and moons in our solar system, such as Mars, Venus, and the Moon.

Oceanography:

Examining the physical, chemical, and biological properties of Earth’s oceans and their role in climate regulation and marine ecosystems.

Astrobiology:

Investigating the potential for life beyond Earth by studying extreme environments on our planet and searching for habitable conditions on other celestial bodies.
