Geophysics examines Earth's physical characteristics across all dimensions, from microscopic to planetary. Princeton researchers investigate mineral properties in Earth's interior through high-pressure experiments, create 3D structural models using seismic tomography, analyze earthquake mechanics and friction principles, simulate wave patterns with advanced parallel computing, and track gravity variations to study phenomena ranging from tectonic movements to glacial changes.
The Geosciences Department and its collaborative programs form Princeton's core hub for Earth, atmospheric, oceanic, and environmental studies. This multidisciplinary department brings together diverse scientific approaches to explore Earth's subsurface architecture, climate systems, biosphere, atmospheric and marine dynamics, surface formations, and their complex interactions across geological timescales.
