The Geology Department champions interdisciplinary approaches to Earth study. Our mission is to deliver top-tier education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, excel in research, and engage with society and industry. With an average annual intake of approximately 30 bachelor's and 10 master's students in geology and engineering geology, our dedicated students and geoscientists delve into investigating minerals, rocks, soils, sediments, and water with expertise spanning various disciplines such as stratigraphy, paleontology, petrology, geochemistry, gemology, mineralogy, sedimentology, tectonics, economic geology, engineering geology, and planetary sciences.

Their research contributes to evaluating natural hazards like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, sinkholes, subsidences, historical and building stone weathering, and floods. They also address petroleum reservoir exploration, extraction, carbonate sequence stratigraphy, geomechanics concerns, engineering geology in civil projects including dams, tunnels, roads, and construction materials, mining challenges, paleoclimatology, water source contaminations, surface and groundwater management, and the feasibility of clay deposits for ceramic industries.
