EARTH SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PROGRAM RESEARCH
Faculty use theoretical and experimental methods to study physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere, ocean, and soils with the aim to protect the environment, facilitate oil recovery, map renewable energy resources, and develop comprehensive, quantitative assessments of natural and human-induced hazards to ensure environmental safety and sustainable economic development.
Current research areas include:
Advanced data-driven forecasting systems
| Advanced geophysical imaging methods |
Divergent plate boundaries and other crustal deformation processes
| Environmental impact assessment |
Flow physics
| Hydrocarbon recovery |
Natural and man-made fractures
| Natural hazards and related risk assessment and mitigation |
