organisation profile

The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences offers programs of study and research in the basic Earth sciences;

  • in geology, the science of the solid Earth;
  • in geochemistry, devoted to understanding the chemistry of the solid Earth and natural waters;
  • in geophysics, concerned with a quantitative description of physical processes in the Earth and planetary sciences;
  • in physical oceanography, the study of ocean currents and waves, and their role in climate;
  • in atmospheric sciences, particularly the dynamics of atmospheric circulation both on earth and other outer planets and their satellites;
  • in ecology and paleoecology, the study of the relationships between organisms and their environment today and in the geologic past.

The department's primary goals are basic research and the training of scholars who will contribute to the future of these disciplines. The programs emphasize basic principles and concepts rather than applied aspects.
