Research activities
We undertake multidisciplinary research across four key resource strands.
Our interdisciplinary research is built on strong core disciplines that include
- ecology
- environmental sciences
- geography
- geology
- geophysics
- meteorology
- oceanography
We develop methods and strategies to enable the responsible use of the Earth's resources for the benefit of society. We undertake research focused on limiting the environmental impact of obtaining natural resources and using the subsurface to safely store waste related to their use.
Biomass and soils
This strand focuses on how soil management, climate and land use change affect greenhouse gases and soil carbon.
Geoenergy
Geoenergy encompasses a range of energy technologies and sources that interact with the geological subsurface.
