Earth science / Geoscience / Geophysics in England: Best universities Ranked

Below is a list of best universities in England ranked based on their research performance in Earth science and Geophysics. A graph of 5.53M citations received by 161K academic papers made by 91 universities in England 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.
