Be a part of a diverse geoscience network.
Nevada Geosciences includes three integrated units that each have their own specialties: the Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering, the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology and the Nevada Seismological Laboratory. The combined faculty and staff from the three units have world-class skill sets and knowledge in a variety of Earth science subdisciplines; to learn more about our geoscientists, visit the People page on the Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering website. Not only does Nevada Geosciences house a variety of cutting-edge research facilities, the group also strives to cultivate an inclusive environment through its Geosciences for All Committee and Commitment to Diversity. Combined, these features make Nevada Geosciences an ideal place to embark on an educational journey through classes and research experiences in the Basin and Range and beyond.
There are also multiple research centers housed within the program, including the Ralph J. Roberts Center for Research in Economic Geology (CREG), the Nevada Geodetic Laboratory, the Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy, the Center for Transformative Environmental Monitoring Program (CTEMPS) and Great Basin Science Sample and Records Library.
