Education

Through a combination of theoretical, computational, laboratory, and field-based approaches, you’ll develop a deep understanding of the history and processes that define our planet, spanning Earth’s geological past to its climatic future.

Undergraduate Students

Explore a broad range of science disciplines in an unparalleled undergraduate research environment.

Graduate Students

Pursue your passion for research and gain a deep understanding of the history and processes that define our planet.

Courses

Our course focus on Earth and other planets and draw from disciplines including biology, chemistry, engineering, physics, and mathematics.

Research

Our research spans Earth’s interior, to the oceans and atmosphere, and beyond. We study the natural world through approaches including fieldwork, cutting-edge observations, computer models, and theory.

Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans

Climate change poses societal challenges and compelling scientific problems. We observe, analyze, and model the components of climate from local to global scales.

Geobiology, Geochemistry, and Earth History

We investigate the composition and operation of Earth and how these intertwine with the history and current state of life, ecosystems, and the climate of our planet.

Geology, Geophysics, and Planetary Science

We unearth and answers questions about the origin, evolution, and current state of the Earth from its core to crust and from our planet to those in distant solar systems.

Community

In our vibrant community of students, faculty, and alumni, each individual is empowered to tackle global challenges. In addition to your coursework, you’ll benefit from clubs, events, and networking opportunities.
