Earth and Planetary Science at UC Berkeley

The interests of the faculty cover a broad range of earth sciences. The traditional fields of petrology, mineralogy, mineral resources and structural geology are represented. Solid earth geophysics includes a unique combination of expertise in seismology, mineral physics and geodynamics. Recently we have added a marine geophysics program, an atmospheric science program and most recently a planetary science program, with links to programs in the Departments of Chemistry, Astronomy, Geography and Environmental Science and Policy Management.
