September 2012
Welcome to all new and returning students to Earth and Ocean Science for the new college year 2012 /2013.
Earth and Ocean Sciences (EOS) was formed at the start of the academic year 2003-4 from a merger of the existing Departments of Geology, Oceanography and the Applied Geophysics Unit. It is now the largest geoscience discipline in Ireland. |
||
|
Earth & Ocean Sciences has two main aims. The first is to supply a Bachelors Degree in Earth and Ocean Sciences, unique in Ireland. The second is to conduct top class research into exploration for, and management and conservation of, Ireland's physical resources. |
||
| There are 8 academic staff, 4 technicians, an administrator, 6 post-doctoral researchers, more than 20 doctoral students plus some 200 full-time undergraduate students. EOS has been extremely effective in attracting research funding from European and Irish sources. Interdisciplinary research is encouraged between the major research groups concerned with: Deep Ocean Research; Habitat Mapping; Crustal Tectonics and Geophysics; Environmental Geology; Past and Present Environments; and Geofluids.
