地质学硕士

地质学是一门跨学科的科学，重点研究主要地球系统及其连接方式。地质系在古生物学（古生物学和演化古生态学，我们的计划在美国排名第六），第四纪地质和地貌学（冰川地质，第四纪年代学，河流和斜坡过程，沙漠地貌学和构造地貌学）方面拥有强大的研究团队，沉积学和地层学（层序地层学，页岩地质学和地球历史的地球化学记录），构造学（山地建筑和火山作用），环境地质学（地下水研究以及滑坡和减轻地震危害）以及生物地球化学和全球变化（碳循环，同位素）地球化学，以及气候变化的影响）。
Geology is an interdisciplinary science that emphasizes the study of major Earth systems and how they are connected. The Department of Geology has strong research groups in paleontology (paleontology and evolutionary paleoecology, our program is ranked 6th in the nation), Quaternary geology and geomorphology (glacial geology, fluvial and slope processes, desert geomorphology, and tectonic geomorphology), sedimentology and stratigraphy (sequence stratigraphy, geology of shales, and geochemical records of Earth history), tectonics (mountain building and volcanism), environmental geology (groundwater studies and landslide and seismic hazard mitigation), and biogeochemistry and global change (carbon cycling, isotope geochemistry, and impacts of climate change). <br>The goal of the Department of Geology is to produce well-rounded graduate students who not only take part in advanced research, but also gain extensive field, laboratory, and teaching experience. The department and the University of Cincinnati provide financial support on an academic year and summer basis for most graduate students in the form of Teaching Assistantships, Research Assistantships, tuition scholarships, endowed fellowships, and external grants to aid students in achieving their goals.
