100 Best universities for Earth science / Geoscience / Geophysics in China

Updated:

EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in China ranked based on their research performance in Earth science and Geophysics. A graph of 10.3M citations received by 615K academic papers made by 456 universities in China was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
