  • EAPS offers graduate research programs leading to the Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees.

    EAPS is a multidisciplinary department in the College of Science offering graduate research programs in  Atmospheric Sciences, Environmental Geoscience, Geodata Science Initiative, Geology and Geophysics, and Planetary Sciences, leading to MS and Ph.D. degrees. Our research incorporates a wide range of innovative observational and experimental techniques in both field and laboratory settings, as well as advanced numerical modeling methods, to address some of the most challenging interdisciplinary questions about the past, present, and future state of the Earth and other planetary systems. These topics of study include processes operating from deep in the interior to the surficial environments of Earth and other planetary bodies, severe weather and climate, energy and environmental resources, hydrology and water resources, and many more. Our former students are now employed by universities, major research institutions, government agencies, and industry.
