The University of Göttingen offers a doctoral programme in Geoscience built around three major research foci in the faculty. The programme explores coupled processes across the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere, with attention to geological, mineralogical, crystallographic, and biological processes involved in mineral and rock formation. It also covers the dynamics and transport processes of the lithosphere, including the physical and chemical evolution of melts in magma reservoi...
