Our department offers an M.S, in Earth Sciences. We offer a broad range of graduate classroom and research experiences including both field- and model-based Earth Sciences as well as applied, interdisciplinary and traditional research and clasroom opportunities. Our department offers personal guidance typical of a relatively small department, with the field, laboratory, GIS and cartographic facilities and resources that accompany a larger one.

Specific classwork and research areas include: surface and groundwater hydrology, numerical ground and surface water modeling, vadose zone processes, geochemistry, biogeochemistry, mineralogy, structural geology, remote sensing, soil science, soil geomorphology, Quaternary geology, surficial processes, fluvial processes and depositional environments, clastic and carbonate sedimentology, basin analysis, stratigraphy, coastal geology, paleoecology, macro- and micropaleontology, environmental geology, hydrology and sedimentology, applied climatology, and numerical weather prediction and tropical meteorology.

The best way to learn more about the M.S. program is to get in touch with any of our faculty with whom you might be interested in working. We are here to answer your questions and look forward to hearing from you!
