地质学硕士

地质科学硕士是一项严格的研究论文程序，其基础是相关课程工作。研究计划包括环境地质学，地貌学，水资源，环境（生物）地球化学，矿物学，沉积，火成岩和变质环境，地质年代学和结构地质学，构造学以及造山带演化。特定教师兴趣的例子包括尚普兰湖盆地的地质历史和近期沉积，冰川作用的过程和年代学，稳定和宇宙成因的同位素研究，水质和污染物迁移，晶体化学和晶体学，矿物结构分析，环境矿物学，水岩相互作用，关键区域的（生物）地球化学循环，大陆边缘和内部的构造演化，变形岩石的岩石构造和结构分析，部分熔融和深地壳过程，变形时间和构造过
The Master of Science in Geology is a rigorous research thesis program with grounding in related course work. Research programs include environmental geology, geomorphology, water resources, environmental (bio)geochemistry, mineralogy, sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic environments, geochronology and structural geology, tectonics, and the evolution of orogen. Examples of specific faculty interests include geologic history and recent sedimentation in the Lake Champlain Basin, processes and chronology of glaciation, stable and cosmogenic isotopic studies, water quality and pollutant transport, crystal chemistry and crystallography, mineral structure analysis, environmental mineralogy, water-rock interactions, (bio)geochemical cycling in the critical zone, the tectonic evolution of continental margins and interiors, petrofabric and structural analysis of deformed rocks, partial melting and deep crustal processes, timing of deformation and rates of tectonic processes, and stratigraphy and sedimentary environments of lower Paleozoic sandstones and carbonates.
