INTRODUCTION
The Department of Geology, University of Karachi is one of the oldest institutions for
teaching geology in the country which started functioning in 1954. The journey of progress
and development is still continued since the establishment of the department. Staff members
obtaining higher degrees and advanced trainings imparted their experience and knowledge to
the young future geologists. The department is determined to keep the pace of development
of the field of geology and has introduced a variety of subjects like Geochemistry, Petroleum
Geology, Geomorphology, Sedimentology, Marine Geology, Economic Geology,
Hydrogeology, Engineering Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Geology.
The department of Geology has produced a large number of graduates. Most of our graduates
hold key positions in national and multi- national organizations and have made significant
contribution in their field of specialization. Department has good history in producing M.
Phil.s and Ph.D.s A number of research projects in collaboration with national institutions
and multinational companies are in progress. Staff members of the department have also
published numerous research articles in journal of national and international repute having
high impact factor.
The department has an impressive geology museum which houses a large collection of
valuable rocks fossils and mineral specimen. The department has a wide range of advanced
laboratories facilities. There are well equipped research/teaching Geochemistry,
Sedimentology, Economic Geology, Hydrogeology, Engineering Geology, Geophysics and
Environmental Geology. The department also has a seminar and a reference library with a
reasonable collection of books and journals.
The department also organizes technical lectures and seminars, conducted by professionals to
develop sound knowledge and skills in the students for their career building. Students also
participate in student chapters of many renowned/ learned societies of geological orientation
such as AAPG, PAPG, SPE, KUGAA and SEGMITE. Geological field works in the selected
areas of the country as an essential part of the curriculum are conducted by the faculty for
students‟ practical training.

Ph.D. Program
Geol. 801: Research Seminars (3 + 0)
Each student will be required to deliver three seminars of 1 hour duration each on the related topic of research.
One seminar each would be delivered during two semesters and one at the time of submission of the thesis. All
the faculty members and research students of Department of Geology will attend the seminars. A course
incharge will be appointed at the beginning of each semester and three senior most members of DRC will
evaluate the student. The course incharge will submit the result at the end of semester.
