2024-05-182024-05-18https://scholars.lib.ntu.edu.tw/handle/123456789/714730The ongoing research areas in the Department of Geosciences include traditional geology (mineralogy, petrology, tectonics, structural geology, and geologic resources), geophysics, geochemistry, geo-hazard (landslide, debris flow, volcanic activity, earthquake, etc.), and environmental geology. It has also been growing over the years to incorporate the newly developed research areas intending to better understand global changes in the environment, climate, and natural resources. We have over twenty laboratories housing advanced research equipment supporting the ongoing researches. These laboratories and facilities include the only accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) for radiocarbon dating in Taiwan, two mass spectrometers for Ar-Ar dating, X-ray (single-crystal, powder diffraction, fluorescence, etc.), fission track dating, thermoluminescence dating, electron microprobe analyzer, scanning electron microscope, ICP atomic emission spectrometer and mass spectrometer, mass spectrometer for stable isotope analysis and noble gas analysis, petrology lab, optical mineralogy lab, rock-analysis lab, etc. Our goal is focusing on becoming an international level institute of geosciences education and researches. To achieve the goal, we will keep improving on basic teaching facility and environment, promoting teaching quality and student ability, continuing the cooperation and communication with world’s famous experts and institutes, encouraging faculty and students publishing their research results and attending international conferences. In addition, multi-disciplinary and highly focused research topics will be the general trend and guideline of our future development.地質科學系為臺灣大學創校理學部四科系之一，其傳統特色即是為國家社會培育礦產資源探勘，以及探究各種地質現象奧秘的人才。之所以歸屬理學院，主要因為地質資源的探勘及地質現象的分析，需要利用各種科學與技術，故而與理學院中其他各系有著密不可分的關係，彼此間互動頻繁。由於此項傳統，地質系多年來對於院 內與校內各種事務熱心參與，本系故中央研究院院士阮維周教授、陳正宏教授及羅清華教授，曾任理學院院長，陳正宏教授曾榮任臺大副校長，而羅清華教授現榮任臺大副校長是本系開放且樂於服務系風的最好說明。 本系早已體認進入二十一世紀後，人類對於環境的保護及關心，與對地球資源的渴求同等重要，甚至更為重視，因此數年前即積極轉型，不但延聘了多位環境科學的專家來系任教，並在研究所成立應用地質組，希望能配合「全球變遷」，及「環境保育」等世界性的研究課題，使本系的學術研究與全世界契合， 亦使未來學生的工作能與所學相結合。然而對於傳統地質學如岩石成因、地體構造，或是資源探勘的研究也未曾放鬆。與國外著名大學或研究機構，亦有密切交流與長期合作，經常於國內外著名學術期刊發表論文，足見本系在地質科學研究領域承襲傳統與開創新局皆有長足進展。Academic Institute
