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.
