You’re driven by a fundamental curiosity about processes on Earth and other planets. You want to solve problems related to the subsurface, resources and natural phenomena. The Geophysics and Geophysical Engineering programme at Colorado School of Mines will let you do just that. 

The University of Delaware’s Department of Earth Sciences (ES) prepares Geology students for their future by exposing them to exciting opportunities through education and research in the classroom, the laboratory and the field.

Geological Sciences Ph.D. students at the University of South Carolina are expected to conduct independent, original scientific research and to have an understanding of the fundamental principles and practices related to primary areas of the earth and/or ocean sciences.

Throughout this Geological Sciences PhD programs from Queen's University you'll learn that geoscientists interpret the natural world. They bring methods such as geophysics, geochemistry, geobiology and field geology together to understand the modern and ancient Earth.

The scope of these research projects represents an enormous range of interests, from purely 'academic' to strongly 'applied' industrial and environmental topics. We offer a Geology degree at the Western University - Canada.

The Geotechnical Engineering programme offered by Lund University develops advanced research expertise in soil and rock mechanics and their interaction with structures.

The Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering (GGE) graduate program at the University of New Brunswick combines the study of geodesy with geomatics, giving students a well-rounded understanding of the field.

Geology is an interdisciplinary science that emphasizes the study of major Earth systems and how they are connected. This PhD is offered at the University of Cincinnati.

The Department of Earth, Marine, and Environmental Sciences at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Geological Sciences and Marine Sciences.

The Analytical Geochemist PhD program from Masaryk University aims to prepare highly qualified specialists with knowledge and skills in the fields of Analytical Chemistry and Geology. 

Geoscience and Engineering research at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) aims to contribute to responsible use of the geosphere considering the impact on system earth and society.
