About us

We foster world-class research that enhances the student experience, with internationally-recognised Earth scientists from across the discipline researching and teaching together.

The School of Earth and Environmental Sciences was established in 1891. Located in the University's iconic Main Building in the heart of Cardiff, we neighbour the National Museum of Wales with its superb geological collections.

The school includes a staff of more than 55 academics, and the current Head of School is Dr Jenny Pike.
