Exploring Earth Sciences:

• Want to see more? Check out the UCL Earth Sciences YouTube channel
• For more information see our prospective students page

We travel widely, working in many different countries and climates: on an exploration drilling rig in the cold of Alaska or the heat of the Persian Gulf, in Antarctica, the Himalayas, at sea drilling the ocean floor, in arid environments seeking groundwater, and in the many naturally hazardous volcanic and tectonically active regions of the world. 

Student Spotlight: Isabelle Hoppe

Studing: Environmental Geoscience:
Past climates and working with isotopes to reconstruct past environments has been a personal highlight and I can’t wait to get in the field and deepen my understanding of the impactful geophysical processes as well.

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
