Earth Sciences

Investigating the physics and chemistry of the earth and oceans as they are now, and as they were in pre-history, helps us improve our understanding of our planet and the resources it offers. This work has important economic and commercial applications such as petrochemicals and climate variation, but it also leads to unexpected insights into the evolution and processes of life on earth. Better knowledge of the earth also helps us to better understand the science of extraterrestrial planets.
