Geophysical/Geologic Science
Research in this field is focused on knowledge of a wide range of disciplines related to the earth's composition, its fluid envelopes, and its position in space. Researchers apply concepts and methods in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology to the problems of the atmosphere, the oceans, the solid earth, and the evolution of the planet. Moreover, researchers in this field conduct far-reaching studies of the origin of the earth and solar system.
