✨ 项目特色

• Students receive funding from a combination of tuition subsidies, research stipend, expected salary from employment (e.g., Teaching Assistantship), and external or internal scholarships/awards (if applicable).
• Students benefit from access to analytical facilities which include an Electron Microprobe Microanalytical Facility, an Atomic Absorption Lab, an Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Lab, and a Stable Isotope Laboratory.
• Faculty members conduct research in: the geochemistry of the mantle; the nature of processes concentrating metals in hydrothermal mineral deposits; the controls of viscosity in magmas and the mechanisms of volcanic eruption; the fate of carbon in marine and freshwater sediments; greenhouse gas emissions in natural and anthropogenic environments; the nature of changes in atmospheric and oceanic chemistry during Earth’s history; earthquakes and fault mechanisms; geomicrobiology; the movement of water and nutrients within complex ecohydrological systems; wetland hydrogeology; interactions between the cryosphere, solid Earth, and climate systems; global human processes and their relationship to planetary boundaries.
• Graduates pursue careers in the public sector (e.g., universities and government-funded research institutes) and in the private sector (e.g., mineral and petroleum exploration, environmental consulting, climate change mitigation).
