Welcome
With a heritage dating back to 1840, the Department of Geological Sciences has entered the 21st Century as one of the most vital and growing units of Indiana University.
The outstanding success of a recent endowment campaign is resulting in significant new hiring of faculty at senior ranks in endowed professorships and chairs, as well as in more junior positions.
This expansion provides prospective students with exceptional opportunities for research, training, and funding at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Join us!
