I'm currently a junior majoring with physics (obviously), and I was wondering if anyone knew of a few good universities which offer a graduate degree in Geophysics (or Geological Science). Preferably, I'm looking for schools around Louisiana, Oklahoma, or Texas in the south, or New York or Vermont in the north. Any suggestions?

As it stands right now, I am an applied math major, minoring in physics with a concentration in geophysics. Any and all help would be appreciated.

A friend of mine is doing her PhD in geophysics at Columbia Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/ She really likes the program there. She double-majored in geology and physics as an undergrad.
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
