Gender Studies scholars focus on processes of inclusion and exclusion from a feminist and postcolonial perspective.
/en/research/gender-studies - 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.

This research group tries to understand the nature and the history of the scientific enterprise and the knowledge it produces, which is a crucial part of understanding the world we live in.
/en/research/freudenthal-institute/about-us/history/history-and-philosophy-of-science - Ice and Climate
This research group investigates the exchange processes between atmosphere and ice/snow surfaces and the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets.
/en/research/imau/research/ice-and-climate - Institute for Gravitational and Subatomic Physics (GRASP)
Researchers at this institute try to gain understanding of the basic constituents of matter, their interactions and the fundamental properties of space and time. They conduct experimental research in which they perform measurements of heavy-ion collisions and gravitational waves.
/en/research/institute-for-gravitational-and-subatomic-physics - Institute for Theoretical Physics
Researchers at this institute use concepts and methods encoded in mathematical language to explain physical reality.
/en/research/institute-for-theoretical-physics - Landscape functioning and natural hazards
Our group focuses on studying natural hazards processes: including landslides and soil erosion in mountainous areas in the Alps and the Himalayas, and wind erosion and droughts in semi-arid environments like the Mediterranean region and the Sahara. The results of our studies and the outcome of our models helps society to mitigate the negative impacts of hazards.
