- The Department of Geosciences at Princeton University serves as the central
focus for the earth, atmospheric, oceanographic, and environmental sciences at
Princeton. As such we encompass a rich diversity of scientific expertise and
initiative that ranges, for example, from the measurement and modeling of
global climatic change, to high-pressure mineral physics, to seismic
tomographic imaging of the mantle under the continents, to analysis of the
tectonics of Venus.
Research within the department includes:
-Tectonics, Structural Geology, and Petrology
-Seismology and Computational Geodynamics
-Paleontology and Earth History
-Environmental Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycles
-Molecular Geochemistry and Mineral Physics
-Biological, Physical, and Chemical Oceanography
-Physics and Chemistry of Atmosphere and Meteorology
