#At UCL, Earth Sciences we study everything from the origin of the Earth to the history of the life it sustains. Researcher and students study how our planet is changing. We are an integrative, interdisciplinary, modern science, applying state-of-the-art maths, physics, chemistry and biology in order to better understand the Earth and other bodies in the solar system.
Welcome to Earth Sciences:
See how you can make a difference to today's world.
Fieldtrip Highlight: Ries impact crater
Asteroid and comet collisions have shaped the surface of the Earth – this fieldtrip gives students to opportunity to study impact geology of such event that occured ~14.5 million years ago. Finding solutions to global environmental issues is at the heart of Earth Sciences. From atoms to atmosphere, we study the planet as you've never seen it before
Ancient rocks in virtual reality: Virtual Field Trip
As we were unable to take part in normal field-based classes due to the Covid-19 pandemic, students are instead using virtual reality headsets to learn about Britain’s oldest rocks from northwest Scotland.
