海洋地球科学哲学博士

海洋地球科学（MGS）研究生课程重点研究海洋以下，内部和上方的地球系统的地质，地球物理学和地球化学。在地震，火山，板块构造，热液海底喷口和古气候研究的最前沿，学生与教师紧密合作。MGS的教师和学生还强调跨学科研究，其中地质现象与其他学科（如洋流，气候和生物演化）通常研究的过程相互作用或受其影响。MGS的研究使用了开创性的遥感技术来评估沿海地区地球的地壳运动和沉积。MGS学位课程处于了解碳酸盐沉积系统的最前沿，古气候研究人员正在使用层云岩和礁石通过研究生物和地质过程之间的相互作用来了解有关过去气候变化的更多
The Marine Geosciences (MGS) graduate program is focused on studying the geology, geophysics, and geochemistry of the earth system, beneath, within, and above the oceans.<br><br>Students work closely with faculty at the forefront of research on earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, hydrothermal seafloor vents, and paleoclimate. MGS faculty and students also emphasize interdisciplinary study where geological phenomena interact with or are influenced by processes generally studied in other disciplines, such as ocean currents, climate, and biological evolution.<br><br>MGS research uses pioneering remote sensing techniques to assess the earth's crustal movement and sedimentation in coastal zones. MGS degree programs are at the forefront of understanding carbonate deposit systems, and paleoclimate researchers are using stromatolites and reefs to learn more about past climate change by studying the interaction between biological and geological processes. Ocean observing systems, such as hydrological observatories, are playing prominently in research efforts as well.
