Overview

Marine geologists approach these problems through studies of oceanic rocks, sediments. Marine geophysicists are primarily concerned with the application of gravity, magnetics, heat flow, and seismic methods to study the structure of the earth beneath the oceans. Climate scientists develop and use a variety of techniques to reconstruct past oceans and climates, with the goal of providing perspective for ongoing and future climate change.

Unique opportunity

In the Marine Geology and Geophysics Program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), graduate students have a unique opportunity for training and research in fields including geophysics, petrology and geochemistry, coastal processes, past, present, and future climate variability and impacts.
