/en/organisation/development-education-of-youth-in-diverse-societies/research - Developmental Psychology
Developmental psychology is about the psychological development of children, adolescents and young adults. About how young people find their way in a changing society and how professionals can best help young people with this.
/en/organisation/developmental-psychology/research - Dynamics of Youth
How can we help our children to develop into well-balanced individuals who are able to hold their own and develop fully in a rapidly changing world?

This research programme aims to develop Evolutionary Economic Geography both theoretically and empirically.
/en/research/human-geography-and-planning/research/economic-geography - Education
Education is about improving the quality of teaching, training and learning. Educational insights from research are directly applied in undergraduate, graduate and teacher training programmes.
/en/organisation/education/research - Experimental Psychology
At the department Experimental Psychology we focus on understanding human cognition and emotion at three levels: fundamental, neurobiological and applied.
/en/organisation/experimental-psychology/research - Experimental rock deformation/HPT-lab
We conduct research on the mechanical behaviour and transport properties of Earth materials at conditions pertaining to the Earth’s crust and upper mantle.
/en/research/department-of-earth-sciences/research/earth-planetary-processes/experimental-rock-deformation Geochemical research at Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ emphasizes the study of processes taking place in environments near the Earth's surface, in particular, soils, sediments, aquifers, estuaries, and the ocean.
- Geolab
The GeoLab is the main laboratory facility of the Faculty of Geosciences. We have a wide range of lab facilities available for measuring bulk rock geochemistry, bulk rock stable isotopes (H, C, N, S), in situ stable and radiogenic isotopes (U,Pb-dating), in situ major and trace elements and crystallography.
/en/organisation/faculty-of-geosciences/research-facilities/geolab - Human Geography and Spatial Planning
Human Geography and Spatial Planning focusses on Sustainable Cities and Regions as an overarching theme.
/en/research/human-geography-and-planning - Hydrology, water resources and global change
At Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ we study hydrological processes from the scale of the smallest catchment, to continental and even global scale.
/en/research/department-of-physical-geography/research/hydrology-water-resources-and-global-change - Institutions for open societies
Scholars from the fields of economics, history, public administration, culture, law, sociology, social psychology, ethics, innovation studies, and geography join forces to find answers to the following key questions: Why do societies develop so divergently? And how do institutions contribute to the formation of open and sustainable societies?
/en/research/institutions-for-open-societies - Interdisciplinary Social Science
At the department Interdisciplinary Social Science we deal with social issues such as discrimination in the labour market, reintegration at work, growing up in multicultural neighbourhoods, developing your own identity, risk behaviour among young people, growing inequality and accessibility of healthcare.
/en/organisation/interdisciplinary-social-science/research - International Development Studies
The International Development Studies (IDS) research programme provides an innovative contribution to our understanding of development within a context of globalization.
/en/research/human-geography-and-planning/research/international-development-studies - Mantle Dynamics
We study how geodynamic processes of the Earth’s mantle couple to tectonic evolution of the crust and to the deformation of the Earth’s surface.
/en/research/mantle-dynamics - Marine Palynology and Paleoceanography
We study climate and biota in past oceans to project the future.
/en/research/department-of-earth-sciences/marine-palynology-and-paleoceanography - Methodology and Statistics
At the department Methodology & Statistics we develop methodological and statistical techniques for the purpose of (social and behavioural sciences) research.
/en/organisation/methodology-and-statistics/research We investigate variatons of the geomagnetic field, neotectonic and geodynamical research, and rock magnetism & environmental magnetism
- Quaternary climate and landscape
Our research covers the last hundred thousands of years when rapid climate change and sea level rise took place under mostly natural conditions. By studying this particular time-period, we gain a better understanding of the relative contribution and functioning of natural processes on climate and landscape changes.
/en/research/department-of-physical-geography/research/quaternary-climate-and-landscape We extract information from earthquakes recorded at global and regional seismic networks to produce three-dimensional models of the Earth'sinterior, mostly using supercomputing.
- Social, Health & Organisational Psychology
At the department Social, Health and Organisational Psychology we conduct research on human behaviour in social contexts. Our research covers various topics such as how people behave to achieve health and well-being in a wide variety of social contexts.
/en/organisation/social-health-organisational-psychology/research - Sociology
At the department Sociology we deal with a wide range of sociological topics such as: social inequality, crime, migration and integration, social networks, policy and organisation, cooperative relations, families and work.
