The geosciences are the studies of planet Earth; the
atmosphere, the hydrosphere (including oceans, freshwater and
glaciers), the earth's surface and its interior. The span of the work
at the Department is well illustrated by the science sections:
The Department participates in two Centres of Excellence:
Physics of Geological Processes -
PGP and International Centre for
Geohazards - ICG:
 
 The department
represents the University of Oslo in the strategic research cooperation
Oslo Centre for Interdisciplinary Environmental and Social Research - CIENS.
The Department of Geoscience has a close cooperation with UNIS
- the University Studies at Svalbard,
and it is easy to incorporatet a term or two at Svalbard in the studies at the department.
A once in a liftime experience!
