Message from the head of Department
Welcome to the Department of Geology website.
Since its inception in 1956 when the University of Nairobi was still the Royal Technical College of East Africa, the Department of Geology has trained the bulk of professional geologists within Kenya (over 90%) and a significant number within the Eastern African Region and beyond.
Background
The Department of Geology is one of the oldest in the Faculty of Science and was started in 1956 when the University of Nairobi was the Royal Technical College of East Africa. Initially located in the Gadhi Wing of the Main Campus, the Department later shifted to Chiromo Campus in 1975 together with the other Physical Science Departments, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Meteorology and the Institute of Computer Science.
