Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (IASBS)

The Department of Earth Sciences with almost two decades’ activity, is one of the youngest departments of IASBS. Currently we are active in the fields of Geophysics, Tectonics, Petrology, Sedimentology and sedimentary rocks, Hydrogeology, and Geological Remote Sensing. We are also interested in interdisciplinary Earth Sciences research and post graduate training. In a long term perspective, we will develop the department with adding other modern branches of Earth Sciences. We offer M.Sc. programs in Geophysics, Tectonics, and Sedimentology, Hydrogeology and Geological Remote Sensing as well as Ph.D. programs in Geophysics. These programs are both course- and research-oriented for students which are interested in Earth’s structure (deep and shallow), crustal and lithospheric deformations, the nature and genesis of rocks and life on Earth, petroleum geology, hydrogeology and climate, etc. Individuals, with a Bachelor's degree in Physics, Geology, Mathematics, and Engineering are eligible to apply.
