The Department of Geology includes two sub-units organized around broad themes; Bedrock Geology and Quaternary Sciences. An important strategy is to increase collaboration across research themes. Below we present our eight research themes in short. The structure of overall research themes at the Department of Geology. The two rings represent the two units Bedrock Geology and Quaternary Sciences. T

Magmatic petrology, Geochemistry and Geochronology,15 ECTS credits Planet Earth was formed 4,560 Ma and its differentiation into crust, mantle and core occurred shortly thereafter. Continuous magmatism in various plate tectonic settings, in combination with processes related to melting and magma differentiation, has led to the wide spectra of igneous rock distinctive of Earth’s crust. We learn to

Evolution of the Biosphere, Palaeoecology and Palaeontology, 15 ECTS credits The fossil record reveals that life has changed dramatically since it originated, and that evolution is intimately associated with changes in physical conditions on our planet. Not only have the various groups of organisms evolved but also the biosphere, as a whole, has changed conspicuously since its origin over 3.500 mi

Metamorphic Petrology and Structural Geology, 15 ECTS credits Metamorphic processes have reshaped the crust since the formation of planet Earth. Metamorphism, involving essentially reactions in the solid state, takes place where rocks are subjected to temperature and pressure conditions different from those where they originally formed. New minerals form by chemical reactions, often in the presenc

Sedimentary Geology and Basin Analysis, 15 ECTS credits Sedimentary basins are erosional remnants comprising hundreds to thousands of meters thick strata and preserved in regionally widespread, natural or fault-controlled depressions in the crystalline bedrock. They are represented from all tectonic environments and contain Earth's deposits of coal, oil and gas. They are therefore of great economi

Master´s Degree Project in Geology, 45 ECTS credits If you are planning to do a Master's degree project you need to approach one or several of our teachers whose research is in line with your interests within the field of geology. You should do this well in advance of the start of your project for discussions about possible tasks. Alternatively, you can approach an external partner, for example to

Luminescence dating is a geochronological technique that spans the Late Quaternary, and can be used in both geological and archaeological applications. It uses the natural emission of light from mineral grains (namely quartz and feldspar) to inform us about the age of events ranging from the deposition of beach sediments in storm events, change in climatic conditions, and the making of pottery and
