Opportunities for Students
Graduate Student Funding Opportunities in
Climatology, Geology, Geography, and Marine Sci-
ence and Policy. The College of Earth, Ocean, and
Environment (CEOE) at the University of Delaware
is pleased to announce the availability of graduate
student funding for Master’s and Doctoral students
interested in Marine Science and Policy, Geologi-
cal Sciences, and Geography. Graduate students in
these programs tackle complex environmental chal-
lenges by applying the latest technological advances
to ocean, earth, and atmospheric research using
high-tech satellite images, surface and underwater
sensors, laboratory instrumentation, and complex
computer models to help enhance climate predic-
tions, identify and mitigate pollution, improve re-
source management, explore energy solutions, make
marine transportation safer and more efficient, and
examine the relationships between humans and the
environment. Our students also are using innova-
tive tools to better understand our valuable biologi-
cal resources, investigate populations, life histories
and habitats, and determine the natural and hu-
man factors affecting their survival. Eligible students
could be funded through various opportunities in- for graduate training and research in the heart of GSA TODAY | www.geosociety.org/classiads/
cluding fellowships, research assistantships, teach- downtown Indianapolis. We offer an M.S. in Geology
ing assistantships, and tuition scholarships. Funding and a Ph.D. in Applied Earth Sciences. The Ph.D.
opportunities typically cover stipends for tuition for program provides opportunities for advanced inter-
fall and spring semesters. Interested students should disciplinary research at the interface of earth sciences,
