You apply geological, (isotope) geochemistry and radio-isotope dating techniques to, for example:
  • understand the relations between subduction, volcanism and metamorphism;
  • ascertain the age and rates of continental collision and uplift, subsidence and denudation; 
  • study the origin, filling and deformation of basins, providing understanding of the structures in reservoirs, e.g. for geothermal energy; 
  • deal with relationships between deeper processes caused by intraplate stresses, surface processes and sedimentary sequences;
  • compare the evolution of Earth with other rocky bodies in our solar system.
