Doctor of Philosophy in Earth and Climate Sciences

The School of Earth and Climate Sciences offers MS and PhD degrees in Earth and Climate Sciences. Faculty and graduate student research focus on four major areas: Climate change, glacial geology, glaciology, and Quaternary studies, Environmental geosciences, hydrogeology and low-temperature geochemistry, Geodynamics, crustal studies, and rheology of Earth materials and Marine geology, coastal processes, sedimentology, and sea-level studies. The PhD requires the completion of at least 15 credits of coursework beyond a master’s degree, and 33 credits if entering with a bachelor’s degree, all PhD students must take at least 9 thesis credits. PhD students must also pass a written and oral comprehensive examination. The UMaine School of Earth and Climate Sciences has a well-established reputation for educating highly successful masters and doctoral students. Through advanced coursework and focused research you will develop expertise on a well defined subject while improving your general knowledge across a broad range of science and engineering topics. Earning a graduate degree will not only enrich you personally but will also widen your career opportunities and significantly increase your expected lifetime earnings.

Our graduate students work with their faculty advisors in Maine as well as in many parts of the world. Projects are commonly interdisciplinary involving several different science and engineering Departments at UMaine. Our students list this as a big strength of our program. Students commonly attend professional meetings in the US and abroad to share their research, and to meet prospective employers and graduate or postdoctoral advisors.
