Seismology, structural geology, tectonics, mineral physics, petrology, and computational geodynamics form the core of a graduate program that involves students from the start in frontline research on the evolution of Earth as a planet, using field observations as well as laboratory, numerical and theoretical studies.

geoscience and geochemistry
Interdisciplinary
program in environmental sciences focuses on certain key concepts of physical,
biological, chemical, and policy aspects of environmental problems at the
local and global scales. This program is in coordination with faculty in
other departments at Princeton University and the Princeton Environmental
Institute. The primary research areas include biogeochemical cycles, environmental
chemistry, mineral sciences, ground water geology and chemistry, microbial
processes in oceans and soils, atmospheric chemistry, and environmental
policy. In addition, we do paleontological and stable isotope studies of
past climate, sea-level changes, mass extinctions and evolution through
fieldwork at sea and on land.
