地球与行星科学哲学博士

在下一世纪，了解我们的星球将是科学界的一项根本挑战。社会与人口，环境，经济，政治等几乎每个实际方面都将受到并且也将越来越受到我们与地球的关系的影响。哈佛大学地球与行星科学系（EPS）致力于应对这些挑战，并为希望攻读研究生的学生提供了绝佳的机会。该系拥有世界一流的教师，最先进的实验室，仪器和设施，以及友好的协作文化，致力于研究生的教育和培训。无论您是从事基准工作，进行实地研究，还是干脆在学生休息室里享用咖啡和饼干，您都将发现EPS是一种令人兴奋且引人入胜的体验。我们的研究生以不同的本科课程入学，包括地球科学
Understanding our planet will be a fundamental challenge for the scientific community over the next century. Almost every practical aspect of society-population, environment, economics, politics-is and will be increasingly impacted by our relationship with the Earth. Harvard's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS) is dedicated to facing these challenges and offers outstanding opportunities for students who wish to pursue graduate studies. The department features a world-class faculty, state-of-the art laboratories, instrumentation, and facilities, and a friendly, collaborative culture that is committed to the education and training of its graduate students. Whether you are engaged in benchwork, conducting field research, or simply enjoying coffee and cookies in the student lounge, you will find EPS to be an exciting and engaging experience. Our graduate students enter with diverse undergraduate preparation, with majors in Earth sciences as well as applied math, biology, chemistry, engineering and physics. Graduate study and research within EPS are equally diverse, and include geology, geobiology, geochemistry, geophysics, physics and chemistry of climate, planetary science, tectonics, and more. In addition to the collaborative exchange with other Harvard departments and the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, students may supplement their studies by cross-registering in other Harvard graduate schools or at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Many students exposed for the first time to the Earth sciences find that this field provides the combination they've been looking for: one that is sophisticated, scientifically challenging, interdisciplinary, and offers societal relevance.
