Experts in Geoscience

Are you a journalist with a need to contact experts in geoscience? For example, individuals who have an expertise in natural disasters, environmental problems, space, glaciers, volcanoes, earthquakes, the soil, groundwater or a different area that involves geoscience?

If so, then Department of Geoscience at Aarhus University can help you establish contact with our researchers in geoscience. These individuals conduct research in many different fields. You can find geoscientists with an expertise in archaeology, astrogeology, ice, climate change, nature and landscapes, natural disasters, raw materials, water, stones, and cliffs.

Based on their areas of expertise, we have divided the researchers into several categories, which can be reached by clicking on the green, rectangular buttons below.
