Programme overview

Main Subject

Earth and Marine Sciences

Study Level

Masters

Departmental research activities span from fundamental and precise laboratory studies of rocks and minerals to field studies in remote and rugged locations to high-performance computing of climate and natural hazards using remotely sensed data. Faculty members are involved in domestic and international field studies including: Characterizing the hydrology of melting glaciers in Alaska, Svalbard, and Nepal; Petrology of super volcanoes in New Zealand and US; Landslide and flood hazards in El Salvador; Volcanic seismicity in Guatemala and Chile; Transport and observation of atmospheric pollutants in remote locations like Greenland and the Azores; Volcanic degassing in Indonesia and Costa Rica; Monitoring the water quality of lakes via Remote Sensing.Moreover, the field activities are coupled with advanced satellite and ground-based remote sensing work such as studying optical properties for water quality studies in Lake Superior and the Bering Sea. High-performance computers are used to study atmospheric-terrestrial interactions in the face of climate change and impacts of anthropogenic activities on climate. Department laboratories are equipped and operated to support the field and modeling studies including seismic petrophysics, rock and mineral preparation and visualization, environmental magnetism, aquatic optics and remote sensing, and geo-hazard and geo-resource characterization. In addition, some of our faculty members are conducting research from the Great Lakes Research Center. Michigan Tech is home to one of the largest volcanology graduate programs in the US with research foci including volcano remote sensing, and volcanic degassing.
