Maestría en Ciencias de la Tierra

Geochemistry (Dept. of Chemistry & Geochemistry)GeobMaster of Science (MS) in Geosciences

There are 6 study options underneath the Master of Science (MS) in Geosciences program: iochemistry, water/rock/microbe interactions, thermodynamics of natural systems, coevolution of geochemistry and life, thermodynamics of minerals, and migration of pollutant species in soil and water.

Geochemistry is an interdisciplinary field of study in which the science of chemistry is used to solve earth science problems. Areas of study include the full spectrum of topics from geo-biochemistry, to water/rock/microbe interactions, thermodynamics of natural systems, coevolution of geochemistry and life, thermodynamics of minerals, and migration of pollutant species in soil and water.

The geochemistry option is centered in the Chemistry and Geochemistry Department. Students acquire relatively strong backgrounds in chemistry and can choose thesis topics ranging from a large variety of geochemical/environmental topics.

Originally chartered as The Montana State School of Mines, Montana Technological University (Montana Tech) has evolved into a dynamic institution which connects focused students to a network of people, opportunities, and experiences that empower them to change the world.

Along with world-class offerings in resource engineering, Montana Tech offers programs in other areas of engineering, the sciences, mathematics, computation, health, business. We offer certificate programs, associate, bachelor, and master’s degrees along with with doctoral degrees in Materials Science and Earth Science & Engineering.

Montana Tech’s commitment to research has resulted in significant funding for compelling projects that will help transform tomorrow. Undergraduate and graduate students alike are frequently involved with faculty and staff in these important research programs.
