students at both the masters and doctoral levels. Houston is home to
the largest concentration of geoscientists in the world and provides
unique opportunities for interaction between university researchers and
energy company scientists. Internships involve students working with
departmental faculty and a corporate sponsor on a collaborative
research project. Students carry out their research both on campus and
in the sponsor's laboratories to ensure access to a comprehensive set
of analytical and computational facilities. A range of projects are
currently available in both geology and geophysics. Students use
internships to develop a fuller understanding of the scope of
activities carried out by the corporate sponsor. The amount,
eligibility conditions and benefits associated with each internship
vary. Applicants for Internships must be full time graduate students
who are either US citizens or permanent residents. Student Research Day Student Research Day has become a UH Geosciences tradition. Each Spring semester graduate and undergraduate students
present the results of their research projects in a national meeting format. Graduate research day is scheduled each year during April (please
check the events calendar for more information). Scholarship awards
are given for the best geological and geophysical talks.
It is usually followed by the annual alumni night at the Mucky Duck.Graduate Degrees and Information
