Research
Energy geoscience and basin analysis
The School of Earth and Oceans conducts research on sedimentary basins, focusing on the evolution of Western Australia's onshore basins and the North West Shelf. Researchers analyse geoscientific data to interpret changes in environments, climates, and tectonic settings over billions of years. We use digital technology to integrate geological and geophysical data, collaborating with industry partners.
Projects include subsurface and outcrop studies in Western Australia and Southeast Asia, exploring sedimentary rocks and modern ocean basins to better understand Earth's history and uncover resources such as energy, minerals, and water. Our flagship courses within this research area are the Master of Energy Geoscience and the Master of Geoscience.
