- Biomorphodynamics of living river and coastal landscapes
Our aim is to understand and predict natural and human-induced dynamics of living fluvial and coastal landscapes.

Earth observation from satellites and other platforms (aircrafts, drones) is crucial for our understanding of System Earth and to monitor processes at the Earth surface.
/en/research/department-of-physical-geography/research/computational-geography-and-earth-observation - Copernicus Instituut voor Duurzame Ontwikkeling
The Copernicus Institute investigates and develops processes and opportunities for innovative change towards sustainability.
/en/research/copernicus-institute-of-sustainable-development - Departement Fysische Geografie
Our research is directed to understanding the physical processes, patterns, and forms at the Earth's terrestrial surface.
/en/research/department-of-physical-geography - Energy and Resources
We study the grand challenges of our times: how to realize a sustainable energy and resource system within a world constrained by climate change and increasingly resource scarcity?
/en/research/copernicus-institute-of-sustainable-development/research/research-groups/energy-and-resources - Environmental Governance
We study and formulate recommendations about interventions that have the potential to make governance outcomes more congruent with sustainability goals.

Our Delta Evolution programme aims to develop a fundamental, data-driven understanding of the development of deltas and resulting subsurface architecture at time scales of millennia to centuries.

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.
/organisatie/faculteit-geowetenschappen/onderzoeksfaciliteiten/geolab - Innovation Studies
We investigate the dynamics of emerging technologies and innovations that are relevant for societal problems.
/en/research/copernicus-institute-of-sustainable-development/research/research-groups/innovation-studies - 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.
/en/research/department-of-physical-geography/research/landscape-functioning-and-natural-hazards - Milieuwetenschappen
Gaining insight into how the terrestrial system (including terrestrial freshwater) influences and responds to such global changes is the core of our work.
/en/research/copernicus-institute-of-sustainable-development/research/research-groups/environmental-sciences - Paleoclimate & Biogeology
Palaeoecology studies past environmental dynamics by means of palaeo-reconstructions combined with experiments and observations to understand past and present behavior of biota in relation to humans, climate and natural competition.
/en/research/department-of-earth-sciences/paleoclimate-biogeology - Sustainability
Dit strategisch thema brengt duurzaamheidsonderzoek bij elkaar van enkele moleculen tot complete planeten, waarbij we focussen op water, energie en een gezonde omgeving.
/onderzoek/sustainability - Water Climate and Future Deltas
Water Climate and Future Deltas richt zich op het begrijpen en voorspellen van delta’s en deltamanagement en biedt een beleidsmatig gericht perspectief op het onderzoek naar en het beheer van deltasystemen door fysische, chemische, biologische, institutionele, juridische en socio-economische processen te bestuderen.
