Overview

The PhD programme Geoscience from University of Göttingen, is based on three research foci of the faculty.

Features

The extent and nature of volcanic eruptions are determined by the physical properties of melts and their chemical evolution in the magma reservoir.

The geochemical composition, isotopic tracers and the physical properties of the magmas are examined analytically and experimentally. They make it possible to reconstruct the origin, depth and activity of magma chambers.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

Coupling processes between the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere

Dynamics and transport processes of the lithosphere

Coupled processes in Georeservoirs
