About
The Applied Earth Sciences Ph.D. program will prepare you for academic positions; research; and leadership positions in local, state, national, or private environmental organizations. You'll graduate ready to assess complex environmental systems and assist in providing sound options and solutions for optimizing human-environment interactions.
Students in this program come from a range of science backgrounds but share a common interest in studying and discovering the interactions between earth processes and humans.
Students select a research concentration in one of three areas: water resources, geochemical processes, or physical Earth. This provides the technical expertise to excel in research and to be able to apply defined skills to a wide range of problems in applied earth sciences. You must identify your course concentration cluster by the second semester of enrollment in the Ph.D. program.
