Graduate students pursuing an MS in Geoscience with the Geophysical Engineering option currently have three choices: thesis, publishable paper in lieu of thesis, and non-thesis. All graduate students, regardless of choice, are encouraged to begin participation in a variety of research and field exploration projects early in the program.

Recent research projects in the department include:

• Oil Reservoir Characterization

• Petrophysics

• Seismic Processing/Interpretation

• Electrical Resistivity/IP Studies

• Remote Sensing Analysis

• Ground Penetrating Radar Studies

• Shallow Seismic Investigations?
