For the graduate student, areas of study and exploration include coursework, seminars, and labs in everything from meteorology and earth science to the geology of U.S. national parks; the history of life on earth through the study of fossils and the evolution of early life forms; geophysics; mineralogy; changes in the global environment; and many other topics. Our excellent research labs support your studies in petrophysics, analytical geochemistry, experimental geochemistry, paleontology, petrology, and GIS-supported geology. Specific resources include reaction cell ICP-MS, XRD, high-resolution TEM, wet labs, and research petrographic microscopes. Off-campus electron microprobe and variable pressure SEM facilities are available for graduate student research. World-class collections of minerals, rocks, fossils, and meteorites are curated by local institutions with which the Department of Geology maintains research associations.
