Department of Geoscience

The department is identical to the current Department of Earth Sciences at NAT, and is assumed to continue to be located at Campus Aarhus.

There is a need to maintain and strengthen research-based education in geoscience, and because the new Department of Geoscience faces a major generational change, a targeted strengthening of the research field is required.

An international assessment of the academic activities at the department will be implemented, and this will provide the basis for drawing up an action plan to ensure the rational academic development and strengthening of the new department. 

Public sector consultancy

The department will be able to contribute to public sector consultancy, especially regarding water-related issues. 

Education

The department contributes considerably to lecturing at BSc and MSc levels, as well as PhD education. 

Staffing

Approximately 90–100 members of staff (60–70 academic staff and 20–30 technical and administrative staff).

Head of department

The department consists of units from:

New times at au.dk/en

The university’s website is being redesigned. The design and content will therefore change, and you may experience for a while that old and new sections are mixed together, and that the content is not in its usual place.

We hope that the new website will make up for any inconvenience, and that you will enjoy greater coherence throughout and find the website simpler to use.

Why are we making a mess?

In the time ahead, you will notice a mixture of old and new designs in the pages on the website.

In spring 2011, Aarhus University’s nine main academic areas were reduced to four, and the fifty-five departments became twenty-six. This was to unify the organisation and to strengthen the university’s interdisciplinary approach. We are now following suit by restructuring the entire website to ensure more coherence in the content and design.

Such an exercise takes time – and we hope you will bear with us!

Take a short cut

Under the HOT KEY at the top right, you can find links to the most frequently used content on the website, as well as the two new universes for staff and students.

Where can I find it?

Use the new mega dropdowns to get an overview of the website’s content. They open when you run your mouse over the navigation at the top.
