The Ph.D. in Applied Earth Science is an Indiana University degree offered in the Department of Earth Sciences.<br><br>Students in this program come from a range of science backgrounds but share a common interest in studying and discovering the interactions between earth processes and humans.<br><br>The Ph.D. program prepares students for academic positions, research, and leadership positions in local, state, national, or private environmental organizations. You'll graduate ready to assess complex environmental systems and assist in providing sound options and solutions for optimizing human-environment interactions.<br><br>Students select a research concentration in water resources, geochemical processes, or physical Earth. This provides the technical expertise to excel in research and to be able to apply defined skills to a wide range of problems in applied earth sciences. You must identify their course concentration cluster by the second semester of enrollment in the Ph.D. program. You'll take courses within the cluster with guidance from your research advisor and research committee.
