Outline

Earth and Planetary Systems Science Program at Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering, Hiroshima University consists of three research groups, offering undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate education and researches in sedimentology, paleontology, petrology, structural geology, mineralogy, economic geology, geodynamics, seismology, cosmochemistry and geochemistry. We hope that our education and researches promote our understanding of the following subjects and topics: evolution of the Earth, present state of the Earth’s interior, change of the Earth’s surface environment, geological hazards, and mineral resources. Our education program is designed to produce world-class researchers and engineers in Earth and planetary science (geoexperts) capable of exploring novel discoveries and applying their knowledge to diagnose the Earth conditions. Information of educational courses and research activities of our department can be obtained at this website.
