Field of Study
Geoscience is a multi-disciplinary field emphasizing the chemistry, physics, geology, hydrology, fate and contaminant transport, and economics of the earth and its naturally occurring mineral resources. Six degree options are available in the Geosciences curriculum, including three options with an engineering focus. Degree Program: M.S. in Geoscience with options in
- Geochemistry
- Geological Engineering
- Geology
- Geophysical Engineering
- Hydrogeological Engineering
- Hydrogeology

Graduate students, both thesis and non-thesis, are encouraged to begin participation in a variety of research and field exploration projects early in their graduate program. Major equipment includes a 24 bit 96 channel seismograph, a time domain EM system, a ground penetrating radar system, gravimeter, magnetometer, gamma-ray spectrometer, horizontal loop EM system, and resistivity, IP, controlled source AMT system. Extensive use is made of the department’s computing facilities including PC and LINUX workstations. Software packages include ProMax, Hampson-Russell, and MATLAB among many others.
Recent research includes projects on reservoir characterization, the use of neural networks in interpretation problems and processing of ground penetrating radar data and remote sensing data. Engineering geophysical applications are also of interest and a recent project involved the combined use of seismic and electrical techniques in a groundwater development investigation.
