Institute of Geophysics and Geology
Study
Geoscientists explore the “Earth System” and decipher its historical development. Understanding the past, natural conditions and changes to this system without human influence forms an essential basis for assessing current environmental changes.
Geosciences as a major subject
Geological-geophysical degree programmes (B.Sc., M.Sc.) are no longer offered at Leipzig University.
Our Research
We investigate earth-historical environmental changes and current geohazards. This includes geophysical monitoring of volcanoes and earthquake zones or research into prehistoric climate and environmental changes. Our research areas range from Antarctica to the tropics.
