Answers to Most M.Eng. Program Questions
What concentration areas are offered?
Our M.Eng. degree includes a range of concentrations, with the goal of matching research areas that interest students with the core competencies of our faculty. These concentration areas cover many of the focus areas explored by our students, but we have the flexibility to accommodate other concentrations within the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences as well.
-
Atmospheric Science
Meteorology, applied climatology, air quality, aerosols, and climate change.
-
Remote Sensing
Remote sensing involves utilization of satellite- and airborne-based remote sensing approaches for time series analysis, land-use change, and understanding of subsurface phenomena. Use of large datasets and GIS technology.
-
Subsurface Resources and Energy Systems
Energy reservoirs and subsurface energy engineering, including geomechanics, flow in porous media, geology, geochemistry, numerical modeling, and Artificial Intelligence.
-
Applied and Environmental Geophysics
Geophysics, seismology, geology, porous media flow, and computer methods. Methods include field work, laboratory testing, numerical modeling, and AI.
