About
|
With around 1,000 energy scientists working on energy innovations, TU Delft is one of the largest and most multidisciplinary research institutes in Europe. Awardees will be embedded in the Geoscience & Engineering (GSE) Department in the Faculty of Civil Engineering & Geosciences (CEG). At GSE, we are committed to outstanding international research and education in the field of applied earth sciences. It is our strong conviction that our research should contribute to a Responsible Use of the Geosphere considering the Impact on System Earth and Society.

Global rankings, Honours and prizes
|
The Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) ranking, the Times Higher Education (THE) ranking and the Shanghai Ranking (ARWU) are known internationally, are consulted most often, have a track record and are fairly consistent in terms of methodology and publication frequency.TU Delft scores well in the QS and THE rankings, with a global position in or near the top 50, in the top 20 in Europe and in the top three in the Netherlands. Its position in the Shanghai ranking is lower, in the 151-200 range, because that ranking has a different focus.

Research
|
At GSE, we work on responsible use of the geosphere. We define the geosphere to be that portion of system Earth that includes Earth’s interior, rocks, minerals and soils, landforms and the processes that shape the Earth’s surface. Responsible use includes the activities related to exploration, exploitation and mitigation of natural and man-induced geo-hazards. Our research feeds into our educational programmes and covers societal challenges such as climate change, energy transition, resource availability, urbanisation and clean water. The research done at the department of Geoscience and Engineering is currently divided into themes, namely the energy transition, critical raw materials and consequences of underground engineering. https://www.tudelft.nl/citg/over-faculteit/afdelingen/geoscience-engineering/research/research-themes

Key Research Facilities, Infrastructure and Equipment
|
The Laboratory of Geoscience & Engineering is equipped with highly advanced instrumentations and set-ups to qualify and quantify chemical and physical processes in rocks and soils under deep and shallow in-situ conditions. In this way the laboratory significantly contributes to research and education of the department and provides multi-level experimental support in designing, development, manufacturing, and maintenance of experimental equipment and instrumentation. Its infrastructure is locally embedded in the Delft Subsurface Urban Energy Laboratory, and internationally into the EPOS-facility sharing network.
