Program Description
Geology is the study of the earth, its materials, and the ongoing processes that shape its surface and interior.  Our Geology graduate program within the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees with specialization in  disciplines in Earth surface processes (sedimentation, hydrology), the solid Earth (tectonics, volcanology), geochemistry and geophysics.

Within the School, strong synergies exist with degree programs in Enviromental Science in the area of Earth surface processes.  Our internationally-known analytical laboratory facilities are extensive and modern, and are available to graduate students for their research. The School cooperates with the Department of Geological Sciences at the nearby University of Idaho in providing graduate instruction and research collaboration.
