Ringkasan program

This program combines course-work with independent research. A range of courses is offered with topics that vary in response to the current interests and needs of the graduate students. While course work is an efficient way to convey knowledge, much of the graduate-level instruction occurs through one-on-one interactions with the faculty. The goal of this program is to prepare students for careers in academia, applied research, employment with state and federal agencies, and positions with private consulting organizations. It emphasizes original research in an area of expertise under the guidance of a faculty advisor within the department. Students may pursue independent research in a wide range of fields that include geochemistry, geophysics, geobiology, geomechanics, geodesy, ice physics, geomorphology, neotectonics, petrology, volcanology, paleontology, paleopedology, seismology, tectonics, stratigraphy, sedimentology, structural geology, and ore deposits. The stratigraphic record of tectonically active sedimentary basins indicates the dynamic interactions among basin subsidence, sediment input from eroding sources, evolution of depositional systems, and active faulting and folding that govern these processes. Research in this area combines field-based stratigraphic, sedimentologic, and geomorphic analysis with provenance studies and concepts derived from theoretical models to decipher the complex structural and climatic controls on the filling histories of active basins. Surface processes regulate how tectonics and climate affect landscape evolution. Field observations, numerical simulations, topographic analyses, and experimental facilities are used to study sediment transport processes over a range of spatial and temporal scales.

Uraian Tempat

The Department of Geological Sciences, faculty and students specialize in the study of the Earth from its surface to the deep interior. Geological sciences is inherently interdisciplinary drawing on the knowledge and techniques of other physical and natural sciences, such as biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Therefore, the diverse specialties are unified under a common desire to understand the underlying processes that shape the planet whether that is erosion, mantle convection, hydrothermal reactions, earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions. The department is also intrigued with how life has evolved and adapted on the planet throughout geologic time, and how life interacts with the larger earth system. The mission is to educate and train a future generation of earth scientists, advance the current understanding of the earth system through scholarship and research, and serve as a resource to the university and broader community on topics related to the planet.
