Welcome to School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, NISER.

School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, NISER is a unique research-driven academic center in India that has been established to emerge and excel in high quality and interdisciplinary scientific research works in Planetary Sciences, Earth Sciences, and Atmospheric-Ocean Sciences. This school is different since it envisions to provide the best unique opportunities and freedom to better serve and enjoy the academic cum research life. The Focus, the Vision, and the Mission of our school are the reasons why you should join us.

Focus: The focus of this school is three broad and multidisciplinary areas: (1) Planetary Sciences that will cover major sub-areas of Solar System and planetary formation, planetary surface and interior processes, planetary and exoplanetary atmosphere, astrochemistry and astrobiology, planetary astronomy and astrophysics, small bodies and meteorites, and exoplanetary sciences; (2) Earth Sciences that will cover major sub-areas of geosciences to better understand Earth’s surface and interior processes, geochemistry, geochronology, geophysics as well as early Earth history; (3) Atmospheric-Ocean Sciences that will cover major sub-areas of atmospheric, ocean, and climate sciences and their implications to the natural and Earth System Sciences as well as current trends in climate change.

Vision: The vision of this school is to emerge as a center of excellence in research and teaching in the areas of Planetary Sciences, Earth Sciences, and Atmospheric-Ocean Sciences.

Mission: The main mission of this school are, as per priority:

  1. Pursue high quality and world class research works with research freedom and start-up grant
  2. Provide the best quality education and learning facilities
  3. Best support and freedom to PhDs and postdocs, who will be colleagues to the faculties and tomorrow’s scientists and professors
  4. Nurturing young students and interns for a successful and enjoyable career in science education and research
  5. Idealize science education and research for the maximum benefit of the society and human mankind.
