Taking a scientific, multidisciplinary and quantitative approach, we are involved in research and teaching on geological processes, biological evolution, biodiversity and their interactions with humankind.
Climate change, biodiversity, natural resources, environmental disasters, pollution, our relationship with the environment, sustainability and ecosystem health, and the blue economy: these are among the most prominent issues on economic, political and social agendas worldwide, and we are able to address them all together through integrated activities.
We carry out our activities on the Bologna and Ravenna campuses. The Department’s buildings house six collections/museums managed by the University Museum Network, which cover the entire spectrum of the Natural Sciences and include some of themost prestigious collections in Italy.
BiGeA is a reference point for teaching, research and the University’s Third Mission, and carries out all its activities in an interdisciplinary, intra- and inter-departmental spirit, promoting respect and gender balance.
