Description:

Research in geophysics at Georgia Tech covers studies from the inner core of the earth through planetary sciences. Our research includes theoretical analyses, numerical modeling, observational studies, and laboratory experiments. The research addresses issues of fundamental understanding of the dynamics of the solid earth system, and associated hazards from earthquakes, volcanism, and tsunamis as well as cosmogenic geochronology, geomorphology and electro-magnetic interactions of planetary bodies. Geophysics research is inherently interdisciplinary and is conducted in collaboration with civil and environmental engineering, physics, geochemistry, geology, and microbiology. In recent years, external funding for the pure and applied research being conductedwithin the geophysics group has been provided by the National Science FoundationEarth Science and Ocean Science Divisions, the U.S. Dept. of Energy, USGS,NOAA, the Ocean Drilling Program, the Petroleum Research Fund, and stateagencies.Graduate Student Prospective Students are strongly encouraged to contact facultymembers in their areas of potential interest. We invite inquiriesand applications fromhighly-qualified students with genuine enthusiasm for earth and planetary science researchand with rigorous quantitative undergraduate training.Previous experience in the Earth sciences is encouraged, butnot required. We particularly welcome inquiries from students with backgroundsin geology, geophysics, pure or applied physics, applied mathematics, and engineering.
