Earth Materials Science Lab
The Earth Material Science Laboratory (EMS Lab) researches the role of earth materials in geochemical cycling, element uptake, resource utilization, and processing for various applications like nanotechnology and concrete technology.
Earth Resources Laboratory
The Earth Resources Laboratory (ERL) conducts research on earth resources ranging from metalliferous and non-metalliferous deposits and energy resources. It envisions quality research and training of graduate and undergraduate students on the various aspects of resources..
Engineering Geology Laboratory
The Engineering Geology Laboratory (EGL) focuses on the application of geology to engineering practice. Its mission is to understand earth-structure interactions and investigate how the earth and earth processes impact human-made structures and human activities.
Environment Monitoring Laboratory
The Environment Monitoring Laboratory (EML) focuses on water quality and quantity research projects including mapping and assessment of water pollution, water quality modeling, rainfall forecasting, flood modeling, and large scale dam monitoring.
Geomorphology & Active Tectonics Research Laboratory
We are a young group of researchers at the National Institute of Geological Sciences – University of the Philippines whose research interests include: 1) landforms and their evolution, 2) surface processes and their impacts; and 3) the application of geospatial techniques in modelling surface processes and hazards.
Nannoworks (Nanno) Laboratory
The Nannoworks Laboratory is primarily focused on the utilization of microfossils (coccolithophores, foraminifera, dinoflagellates and diatoms) or the biologic components of sediments to understand past (and present) geologic and oceanographic environments and processes.
Rushurgent Working Group
The Rushurgent Working Group (RWG) is a research group that studies the geology of the Philippines and Asia, mineral exploration, mineralization models, high & low temperature geochemistry, petrography and geochemistry of sedimentary sequences, exploration geophysics, ancient and modern marginal ...
Structural Geology Tectonics
The Structural Geology and Tectonics (SGT) Laboratory is engaged in research that aims to understand observable structures and the evolution of tectonics (particularly in the Philippines and Southeast Asia), in order to give context to the occurrence of mineral and energy resources, and natural hazards.
Volcano-Tectonics Laboratory
The Volcano Tectonics (VTEC) laboratory is a workplace in the National Institute of Geological Sciences where faculty and students conduct theoretical and experimental research on the reciprocal influence of volcanoes and their basement.
