SCHOOL OF EARTH SCIENCES
Research in the School of Earth Sciences is conducted from four broad fields of basic, strategic and applied research, each of which consists of one or more research areas with groups of researchers. Collaborative research is linked to other initiatives and centres at UQ and industry.
