地球与行星科学系是一个中等规模的国家级计划，拥有许多领域的奖学金机会，包括地质，地球生物学，地球化学，地球物理学和行星科学。我们是该国为数不多的具有综合教学和研究计划的部门之一，该计划将地球视为地球，并直接利用通过探索太阳系获得的知识。作为一名研究生，您将有机会通过课程学习探索许多学科，在世界一流的设施中进行前沿研究，并加入一个相互协作和相互支持的学者社区。我们欢迎具有不同学术背景的学生，包括：地质，生物学，化学，物理，环境科学和工程。我们的博士学位 培训强调现代，定量的方法。它涉及现场和实验室工作，以及
The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences is a medium-sized, nationally-ranked program, with opportunities for scholarship in many areas, including geology, geobiology, geochemistry, geophysics, and planetary science. We are one of the few departments in the country with an integrated program of instruction and research that treats Earth as a planet and makes direct use of knowledge gained by exploring the solar system. As a graduate student, you will have the opportunity to explore the many disciplines through your course work, conduct cutting-edge research in world-class facilities, and join a collaborative and supportive community of scholars. We welcome students of many different academic backgrounds, including: Geology, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science and Engineering. Our Ph.D. training emphasizes modern, quantitative approaches. It involves field and laboratory work, as well as theory and advanced computation. The degree requirements are intended to ensure that all doctoral candidates develop independence and originality of thought and acquire knowledge that has sufficient breadth (the broad knowledge of Earth and planetary sciences) and depth (a deeper working knowledge of a specific research area). We believe that the major advances in science are likely to be made at the discipline boundaries and, therefore, does not define disciplines or impose strict rules on what constitutes depth. Instead, the Research Advisory Committee, working with the student, defines the areas of expertise the student wishes to pursue.
