Our institute is home to basic and applied research in the service of science and society. Our research embraces a broad range of field-based, modelling and theoretical approaches to investigating Earth’s crust, lithosphere and sub-lithosphere structure, geodynamics, magnetism, seismology, volcanism, magmatism and rock-forming processes, solar-terrestrial interactions, and surface processes on Earth (and other planets) including climate, tectonics and the biophysical environment.
The institute operates a number of observatories and is involved in collaboration with international services and data centres.
