Our research programs cover the full extent of the geosciences from microbiology to seismology. We focus on deep scientific problems and timely issues that are associated with the well-being of our society and our planet. These include climate change, energy and water resources, natural hazards, land surface processes, environmental remediation and planetary habitability.
