GEO3BCN - Geosciences Barcelona

Geociencias Barcelona (GEO3BCN) is an innovative working group set up in order to provide the best possible response to the requirements of our society with regard to geosciences. GEO3BCN builds upon the former Institute of Earth Sciences Jaume Almera and brings together high profile research specialists from different disciplines into a singular multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research team. GEO3BCN aims at promoting geosciences at a national and international level, as well as integrating geosciences in society. To reach this goal GEO3BCN proposes an holistic approach, from micro-scale to planetary scale, to characterise planet Earth, encompassing various fundamental research challenges such as knowledge of global geodynamics and its implication in the genesis and distribution of resources and geological risks and its relationship with the global change, as well as the human impact on Earth.
