INTRODUCTION

The Department of Geology, University of Karachi is one of the oldest institutions for teaching geology in the country which started functioning in 1954. The journey of progress and development is still continued since the establishment of the department. Staff members obtaining higher degrees and advanced trainings imparted their experience and knowledge to the young future geologists. The department is determined to keep the pace of development of the field of geology and has introduced a variety of subjects like Geochemistry, Petroleum Geology, Geomorphology, Sedimentology, Marine Geology, Economic Geology, Hydrogeology, Engineering Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Geology.

The department of Geology has produced a large number of graduates. Most of our graduates hold key positions in national and multinational organizations and have made significant contribution in their field of specialization. Department has good history in producing M. Phil.s and Ph.D.s A number of research projects in collaboration with national institutions and multinational companies are in progress. Staff members of the department have also published numerous research articles in journal of national and international repute having high impact factor.

The department has an impressive geology museum which houses a large collection of valuable rocks fossils and mineral specimen. The department has a wide range of advanced laboratories facilities. There are well equipped research/teaching Geochemistry, Sedimentology, Economic Geology, Hydrogeology, Engineering Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Geology. The department also has a seminar and a reference library with a reasonable collection of books and journals.

The department also organizes technical lectures and seminars, conducted by professionals to develop sound knowledge and skills in the students for their career building. Students also participate in student chapters of many renowned/ learned societies of geological orientation such as AAPG, PAPG, SPE, KUGAA and SEGMITE. Geological field works in the selected areas of the country as an essential part of the curriculum are conducted by the faculty for students‟ practical training.
