The University of Minnesota's geomechanics graduate program emphasizes applying scientific fundamentals and engineering methods to investigate soil, rock, and underground fluid systems. The geomechanics research team specializes in creating and implementing both continuum and discrete theoretical models to analyze physical processes including material deformation, fracture formation, wave dynamics, and fluid movement. Additionally, faculty research addresses practical engineering challenges involving soil and rock characterization, groundwater movement patterns, and bulk material management techniques.
