关于 the Geological Sciences 研究生 Program

研究生的椅子: Dr. 基思·米拉姆

The Earth and Environmental Geosciences Department welcomes all qualified applicants to its graduate master's 学位 programs. Applicants should possess an undergraduate 学位 in geology or an allied natural or physical science, 比如生物学, 化学, 物理, 数学, 或工程.

The Earth and Environmental Geosciences faculty collaborates across three research clusters:

  • Solid Earth and Planetary Dynamics: This includes planetary geology, 地球物理学, 结构, 矿物学, 岩石学, and additional hard-rock disciplines.
  • Sedimentary 地质 and Paleobiology: This includes biological and ecological problems in the sedimentary record, paleobiogeographic modeling, evolutionary paleobiology, 足迹化石学, 沉积, 地层学, and additional soft-rock topics.
  • Environmental and Surficial Processes: This includes applied and basic geo化学, applied hydrogeology, surface and groundwater remediation, rivers and flooding, bedrock stream processes, 古气候学, and cave development.

A master's 学位 requires at least six letter-graded graduate-level courses and the completion of a master's thesis. One of the six courses must be 地质 5050. This course, Statistical Methods in 地质, is required of all graduate students.

General information for the prospective and beginning graduate students are available in the newbb电子平台 研究生 Catalog. Additional information on undergraduate curricula and courses is available in the newbb电子平台 本科 Catalog. The student is responsible for knowing graduate regulations and for complying with current procedures. The information on this website is intended to complement the above publications with details that are the concern of the graduate students in the Earth and Environmental Geosciences Department. Within the department, further information can be obtained from the Earth and Environmental Geosciences office (Room 316 Clippinger Laboratories) and the 研究生的椅子.
