Our Geological Engineering program merges geoscience with innovative design to guide humanity’s interaction with Earth materials and Earth system processes.
You’ll engineer smart and sustainable solutions for natural hazards, infrastructure design, CO2 geosequestration, geothermal energy, and natural resource development, including precious metals and minerals that are essential to electric vehicles and clean energies, all while incorporating the latest innovations in laboratory testing, numerical simulation, field characterization and monitoring, sensors, artificial intelligence (AI) and satellite imagery.
