PhD School of Theoretical and Applied Geology

The Doctoral School of Theoretical and Applied Geology is associated with the Department of Geology of Babeș-Bolyai University.

Doctoral studies in the field of geology are organized along the following topics:

  1. The study of sedimentary basins from paleontological, stratigraphic and sedimentological aspects, with the main objective of reconstructing the spatial and temporal relationships between sedimentary units, the evolution of paleoenvironmental parameters and highlighting the favorable conditions for the accumulation of resources useful to society.
  2. The study of mineralogical and petrogenic processes in the earth’s crust, with the aim of reconstructing their position in space and their evolution over time, including their potential to generate mineral resources useful to society.
  3. The study of the dynamic phenomena and processes that have led to the configuration and reconfiguration over time of global and regional tectonostructural units with an effect on the various major rock units.
  4. Applied studies in interdisciplinary fields (archaeometry, heritage conservation, construction, etc.).
