The Department of Geological Sciences focuses on advancing our understanding of earth and applying that knowledge to problems of societal importance. Our faculty members apply interdisciplinary approaches to three main themes: (1) climate change, (2) geohazards, volcanology and geodynamics, and (3) water and environment. Both thesis and project tracks are offered. Graduate studies are aimed at preparing students for professional careers in in industry or government (both tracks) or to continue to a doctoral program (thesis track). Students receive specialized training in their selected focus area and also are exposed to the full breadth of the Department’s expertise to provide balance and career flexibility.
