Preface

The Department of Geology, is located in the geologically important land of Cretaceous of

Trichinopoly and it is established in 2001. The department offers five year integrated M.Sc, Geology

from 2015 onwards, two year M.Sc Geology from 2013 onwards, M.Phil in Geology from 2007

onwards and Ph.D in Geology from 2001 onwards. It is one of the pioneering department which was

trifurcated from erstwhile School of Earth Sciences.I t does move towards to attain to the level of

department of advanced studies in Geology. In addition, the department organizes seminars,

workshop, conferences in National and International level. The fundamental objective of this

programme to built an young charming men and women for professional careers in the field of

Geology by providing a broad education in all aspects of the geoscience and equip the students with

appropriate knowledge and skills to make them employable and capable to serve the nation. The

Department of Geology strives to design and develop scientific tools to explore, exploit and manage

Georesources such as water, rock, minerals and soil.

The students of the department are sent to reputed organizations for the summer training.

Apart from the regular lecture frequent field visits have been conducting to improve the practical

knowledge of the students.

Professor and Head

Objectives:

To provide a broad training within the Geology through a series of core, allied and electives

and Non Major Elective and Value added courses such that students gain basic understanding

of all science subjects in order to aid their understanding at advance level in Geology

To train the students to use geological instruments both in the field and laboratory and to

improve their ability to analyze and interpret various data.

To provide field training to improve their knowledge in different earth system processes and

give hands-on exercise to boost their practical knowledge in the field of Geology.

.

Vision and Mission

To become a centre of excellence both in teaching and research in Geology.

To provide high quality enthusiastic earth science graduates to the nation.

To built a world class geological museum in Tiruchirappalli since it is very precious store

house of fossils and minerals.

To built a good researcher to serve the nation.

Programmes offered

M.A./M. Sc./M.Tech Geology

Programme objectives

The objectives of M. Sc./M.Tech/M.Phil Geology programme are:

1. Understand core areas of geology and environmental geology, and interpret a wide range of earth processes on different temporal and spatial scales.

2. Demonstrate competence in collecting scientific data, including field observation and field and analytical measurements.

3. Demonstrate the skills of interpretive analysis and critical thinking with respect to geological problems involving temporal and spatial relationships.

4. Make informed decisions on issues of local and global environmental significance based on an understanding of the interconnectedness of the natural sciences.

5. Make informed decisions on issues of local and global environmental significance based on an understanding of the linkages of processes and systems that characterize Earth systems

6. Demonstrate knowledge of: physical and chemical properties of the lithosphere and hydrosphere (minerals, rocks, soils, and water); geologic time and earth history; and crustal materials and dynamics in the context of plate tectonics theory.
