Dating back
to the first course taught by Carl Heiland in 1926, CSM has one
of North America's oldest geophysics programs and one of the world's
foremost departments in applied geophysics. Here are just a few
of the features that distinguish the Department of Geophysics at
the Colorado School of Mines.
- CSM is unique
in its focus on those branches of science and engineering dealing
with the natural resources and environment of planet Earth and
beyond.
- The relatively
small size of CSM leads to free-flowing interaction between Geophysics
and other departments in the pursuit of multi-disciplinary solutions
to challenging research problems.
- The Department
of Geophysics encompasses a broad spectrum of activities including
exploration and characterization of petroleum, mineral, and groundwater
resources; characterization of environmental, geotechnical and
archeological sites; monitoring of geo-hazards; and exploration
of other planets.
- The renowned
faculty of the Department of Geophysics is respected worldwide
for its experience and expertise in applied geophysics.
- With about
50 graduate and 50 undergraduate students and approximately 20
faculty members, the Department of Geophysics has an informal,
friendly atmosphere in which students receive personal attention.
- The superb
location of Mines along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains
provides not only an extraordinary natural laboratory for pursuit
of the earth sciences but also an outstanding environment for
outdoor recreation.
