Applications are accepted on a rolling basis during the Fall 2023 semester.

The following academic programs participate in the Hydrologic Sciences Program.Ìý

ATOCÌý- Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences

  • Provides an educational and research environment to examine the dynamical, physical, and chemical processes that occur in the atmosphere and the ocean.Ìý
  • A major theme is the establishment of a physical basis for understanding, observing, and modeling climate and global change.Ìý
  • Aims to be the focal point for atmospheric and oceanic science education and research training.

CEAEÌý- Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering

  • Educates students to become leaders in the professional practice of engineering.Ìý
  • Contributes to technological advances that benefit humankind while enhancing the earth's physical and biological resources.Ìý
  • Emphasizes environmental and water resources engineering.

GEOGÌý- Geography

  • Investigates relations between societies and their natural and built environments, emphasizing spatial patterns of human activity and physical/biological processes.
  • Researches new methods for the analysis of geographical data.

GEOLÌý- Geological Sciences

  • Studies a wide range of Earth and environmental problems.
  • Applies math, chemistry, and physics to the study of the earth and its various systems.
  • Earth's natural resources and history.
  • Dynamic processes involving crust and fluid movement within the Earth system.
  • Complex interactions between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere

EBIOÌý- Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

  • Studies the ecology and evolutionary biology of organisms, communities, and ecosystems.
  • Researches and educates in biogeochemistry, ecosystem ecology, evolutionary and developmental biology, conservation biology, and animal behavior.

ENVSÌý- Environmental Studies

  • Provides a broad, but rigorous interdisciplinary education in environmental issues and problem-solving, as opposed to a traditional, discipline-based training.Ìý
  • Utilizes existing courses given in various Arts and Sciences departments, as well as a set of focused environmental studies courses.Ìý
  • Draws from curricula in the earth and natural sciences as well as the social sciences.
