Research: Landscape Dynamics
Oxford Rock Breakdown Laboratory
The Rock Breakdown laboratory provides a focus for research on weathering and rock breakdown in natural environments, as well as on the deterioration of building stones in cultural settings. We have a well-equipped laboratory and an excellent array of field equipment.
Located in the School of Geography and the Environment we work with a wide range of scientists and others interested in how rocks and building stones break down and decay. Our research is currently funded by EPSRC, NASA, RGS-IBG and English Heritage. We are always interested in new collaborations and in encouraging more students to work with us and use our facilities.
