University of Hawaii at Manoa,
Department of Geology and Geophysics:
|
"The University of Hawaii is a land grant, sea grant, and space grant institution, and this is reflected in the research and teaching programs of the UHM Department of Geology and Geophysics. We have a wide range of active, extramurally-funded, research programs in the earth, planetary, and ocean sciences. Our BA, BS, MS, and PhD degrees cover these topics as well. The department also has focus areas of in volcanology, high and low temperature geochemistry, marine geology, tectonics, sedimentology, and environmental sciences (hydrogeology, engineering geology, geobiology, organic geochemistry).
The G&G Department is part of the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST). The school was formed in 1988 to enhance educational opportunities and to accelerate growth of the University in these fields. Prior to that time, the department was part of the School of Arts and Sciences, and many faculty conducted research through the Hawaii Institute for Geophysics. Although our faculty are no longer a part of it, the latter is still alive and well as a separate unit of SOEST called the Hawaii Institute for Geophysics and Planetology. There is a great deal of collaboration between the two units, and amongst
other departments within SOEST."

School of Ocean &
Earth Science & Technology:
|
"The School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology was established by the Board of Regents of the University of Hawaii in 1988 in recognition of the need to realign and further strengthen the excellent education and research resources available within the University. SOEST brings together in a single focused ocean, earth sciences and technology group, academic departments, research institutes, federal cooperative programs, and support facilities of the highest quality in the nation to meet challenges in the ocean and earth sciences. Scientists of SOEST intend to understand the subtle and complex interrelations of the seas, the atmosphere, and the earth in order to learn how to preserve the quality of our lives. SOEST has approximately 700 faculty and staff supported by
both state and federal funds."
