The Geochemistry and Environmental Chemistry program provides two distinct focus areas. The low-temperature track examines chemical and biochemical interactions at Earth's surface, encompassing terrestrial, marine, and freshwater systems, while analyzing how geochemical data reveals past climate patterns. The high-temperature concentration explores planetary formation, magma dynamics, volcanic phenomena, and metamorphic processes.
Students can pursue either an A.B. (12 courses) or Sc.B. (19 courses) degree, both cultivating analytical reasoning, computational modeling, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills. DEEPS fosters a cooperative educational setting that prioritizes experiential learning through classroom activities, laboratory work, and field studies. Numerous paid research opportunities exist for students during summer breaks or regular semesters.
