The interdisciplinary Earth Sciences & Environmental Sustainability doctoral program aims to train independent, integrative, and innovative researchers in the areas of earth sciences, climate change, ecology and conservation, social sciences, and engineering. Your graduate education will prepare you for a career in public or private research, and to contribute to a growing industry of leaders, scientists, and engineers addressing issues of climate change, water scarcity, changing biodiversity, natural resource demand, and environmental sustainability in the Southwest, United States, and the global community. Our PhD program offers five emphasis areas, as well as the opportunity to collaborate along common threads of inquiry linking the School’s diverse perspectives on the earth’s past and future. Explore these areas below, learn about our general course requirements, or review the admissions process. Remember, a successful graduate experience depends on finding the right program for you, and also the right advisor – a faculty member who shares and can support your research interests. You should plan to identify one or more potential faculty advisors well in advance of the application deadline, and to have at least one conversation about the match between your interests and opportunities in their lab.
