Program Description
Earth and Planetary Sciences studies range from the deep Earth (seismology) to the Earth's surface (including geology, oceanography, and environmental impacts), to the planets and moons. We combine field and remote studies with state-of-the-art analytical and statistical methods to provide new insights into the past, present, and future of our planet. Our graduates work in academia, environmental firms, oil and gas companies, government, and NGOs, bringing analytical skills learned to new problems.
In addition to traditional masters and Ph.D., we offer an Environmental Geosciences masters option for working geologists and a "4+1" option for Rutgers majors in Earth and Planetary Sciences.
