Uncover the past, investigate the present, and explore the future.
Our research addresses everything from today’s environmental challenges to the history of planets over billions of years.
Geoscience across space and time.
Our research addresses the fundamental questions about Earth, its environments, and our place in the solar system. We study Earth’s history, challenges facing environments, the life contained within, and those that may have existed in the solar system. EEPS faculty and students work across our state, our planet, and even on the Moon, Mars, and beyond via NASA satellites and rovers.
World-Class Research Facilities
Our scientific discoveries rely on our advanced research facilities to deliver results for our investigations and for those of our university, government, and industry partners. These facilities create numerous research opportunities for our students to gain valuable skills that prepare them for impactful careers.
