Research
The department offers wide-ranging research opportunities, in the fields of sedimentology
and stratigraphy, seismology, petroleum geology, geophysics, low-temperature geochemistry,
environmental geology, geochronology, igneous petrology, volcanology, isotope geochemistry,
hydrogeology, and paleobiology.
Facilities include those in Thompson Hall and those housed elsewhere across campus. Many of our research areas include Kansas, however much research is centered around work across the world.
