Research and education in the Department of Earth Science are based on geology and some aspects of engineering geology. The aims of the department are: (1) to encourage systematic understanding of earth materials and resources, (2) to promote better understanding of the mutual relationships among humanity, society, and the earth from geological viewpoints, and (3) to establish effective methodology to reduce natural disasters based on a wide knowledge of geological processes and environmental changes.
Our education programs are aimed at producing high- level scientists and engineers in Earth sciences and related fields. Field work and practical skills are important components in our undergraduate courses.
