Research Groups - Department Of Geology

Regional Geology Research - Teaching Group

This group includes Tectonics with a special focus on Seismotectonics, Mapping with a special focus on geological structures, Basic Sciences of Paleontology and Historical Geology, Petrography, Mineralogy, Stratigraphy, etc. The basic task of this group is research and scientific studies to increase the level of knowledge of the land in the Albanian territory. The most important product produced by this group is reflected in maps where the main elements that are reflected are the geological formations and the relationships between them. Tectonics is the scientific study of the deformation of the rocks that make up the earth's crust and the forces that produce such deformation. Seismotectonics deals with the study of seismic events (earthquakes), their characteristics and their relationship with the tectonics of a given region and the general dynamics of the earth's crust.

The group consists of:

Academic staff
Academic assistant staff

Applied Geology Research - Teaching Group

This group includes Engineering Geology with a special focus on the geotechnical assessment of areas and regions for the purpose of urban and tourist development. In this group, the studies of Hydrogeology of Albania and Georisk are also included.

Two monitoring networks are planned to be built:

Landslide monitoring network
Erosion monitoring network

The group consists of

Academic staff
Academic assistant

Geophysics Research - Teaching Group

This group includes Geophysics with the traditional disciplines of electrometry, gravimetry, magnetometry and with a special focus on Radon. Geomagnetism, which is the study of the earth's magnetic field, will also be a priority of this group.
