The Institute of Tectonics and Geophysics is HHU’s home of research and education on marine tectonics and exploration of the solid layer beneath oceans. We focus on marine oil and gas, coastal geothermal, marine geological hazards, and oceanic plate dynamics simulation, which are essential for national natural resources, hazards prevention, ecological environment, and understanding of the nature of the solid layer beneath oceans. Our mission is to improve the theories and methods in the exploration of the solid layer beneath the oceans and lead our students to careers in academia, industry, and government.
