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.
