Geoscience Group

Phenomena observed in the northern and southern polar regions can tell us much about the history of space and how the earth’s crust has changed over time. Geoscience Group also studies changes in the global environment caused by movements in the earth’s crust and rises and falls in sea level resulting from increases and decreases in the ice sheet.
