Mission

The mission of our school is to create and effectively disseminate fundamental knowledge about Earth sciences, its natural resources, and the processes by which it changes, to train students and future leaders, and educate the society about geological sciences such as resource exploitation and proper utilization through research and community service activities in the region. Moreover, we are committed to integrate, synthesize, and apply geologic knowledge to societal problems, such as the sustainable use of energy and surface and ground water resources, the identification and mitigation measures of risks caused by natural hazards, and anthropogenic effects on the environment. In order to successfully implement the vision and mission that we have set for ourselves, we must make significant headway in a number of areas related to our teaching-learning, research and community service.
