Introduction
Graduate programs in Earth Sciences (EARTH) are focused primarily on learning advanced methodologies and critical thinking by conducting focused research centered around one of three disciplinary cores that foster research reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the field (geophysics and tectonics, marine and environmental geology, and volcanology/geochemistry/petrology). In addition, students can pursue studies in planetary science and mineral physics with advisors in the Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology (HIGP)
