The Department of Geosciences covers a wide range of fields, and actively promotes interdisciplinary study and research. Students with interest in structural geology, tectonics and geophysics, geochemistry, petrology, mineral physics, geochemistry, biological oceanography, paleontology, paleoceanography, paleoclimate and environmental geology will find most of their research and educational needs. 

In addition the Department has associated programs in water resources (shared with Civil Engineering), materials science (in collaboration with the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials) and environmental science (Geosciences is currently the leading department within the Princeton Environmental Institute).

Atmospheric and ocean sciences are an integral part of the Department, but most of the AOS research activities take place at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory.
