• The Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in EES is administered by the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. The Ph.D. program in Environmental Science is jointly administered by the Departments of EES and Civil and Environmental Engineering. Information relevant to both degrees is covered on this page. In addition, the link above provides a more complete description of the Environmental Science option, including degree requirements, admission, financial aid, and interdisciplinary research opportunities in this one-of-a-kind program in the nation.
  • Our research programs are well-funded; projects are supported by ample laboratory facilities and instrumentation, including computational infrastructure, and they are topically and geographically diverse. Areas of emphasis in graduate studies and research include the following (see Research page for more information): Transport phenomena; sedimentary processes; paleoecology and coupled physical-biological processes; magmatic processes and crustal evolution; and geochemical processes. Current projects are underway in many parts of the U.S., Asia, South America and Antarctica, and include field, laboratory, analytical and modeling components.
