The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences is one of the few departments in the country with an integrated program of instruction and research that treats Earth as a planet and makes direct use of knowledge gained by exploring the solar system. We are a medium sized, nationally ranked program, with opportunities for scholarship in many areas, including geology, geobiology, geochemistry, geophysics, and planetary science. As a graduate student you will join an encouraging, collaborative community. You will have the opportunity to explore the many disciplines through your course work, and to conduct cutting-edge research in world-class facilities.
