地质科学哲学博士

地质科学计划旨在通过专业研究为学生提供基础科学以及领域，理论和实践经验的广泛培训。该计划在地球物理学，地球化学和岩石学，结构地质，沉积学，海洋生态学和能源资源方面具有特殊优势。但是，康奈尔大学研究生课程的出色灵活性为学生提供了跨学科领域工作的充足机会。例如，存在用于研究海洋生态学，水资源和应用地质科学的各个分支的安排。其他领域或部门的教职员工提供跨学科课程，包括行星学和地球外地质学，古植物学，生态学和系统学，生物地球化学，石灰学，土壤成因，土壤矿物学，土壤和岩石力学，遥感，环境流体力学和水文学，流体动力学
Our graduate program in geological sciences is designed to give students broad training in the basic sciences as well as field, theoretical, and practical experience through research in their specialty. The program has particular strengths in geophysics, geochemistry and petrology, structural geology, sedimentology, marine ecology, and energy resources. However, the exceptional flexibility of Cornell's graduate program provides ample opportunity for students to work across disciplinary areas. For example, arrangements exist for study of marine ecology, water resources, and various branches of applied geological science. Faculty members in other fields or divisions offer interdisciplinary courses including planetology and extraterrestrial geology, paleobotany, ecology and systematics, biogeochemistry, limnology, soil genesis, soil mineralogy, soil and rock mechanics, remote sensing, environmental fluid mechanics and hydrology, fluid dynamics, elasticity, geotechnical and earthquake engineering, regional planning, hydraulics and hydrology, and materials science and engineering.
