Message from Head of Department

The Department of Geology and Geophysics has a library that is located on the second floor of building-4 of the College of Science. The library has a reading hall surrounded by shelves that carry a good collection of textbooks, journals, geological and topographic maps. This library serves the students of the Geology and Geophysics program in parallel with the University Central Library (Prince Salman library).

King Saud University was established in 1957 and the Department of Geology, which is one of the departments of the College of Science, was founded in 1958 (1378 H). The Department, upon successfully celebrating its Golden Jubilee in 2008, expanded to incorporate the Geophysics teaching curriculum and was re-named as the Department of Geology and Geophysics.
