M.S. and Ph.D. Programs in Geological Sciences

Our graduate program in geological sciences is designed to give students broad training in the basic sciences as well as field, theoretical, and practical experience through research in their specialty. The program has particular strengths in geophysics, geochemistry and petrology, structural geology, sedimentology, marine ecology, and energy resources. However, the exceptional flexibility of Cornell's graduate program provides ample opportunity for students to work across disciplinary areas. For example, arrangements exist for study of marine ecology, water resources, and various branches of applied geological science. Faculty members in other fields or divisions offer interdisciplinary courses including planetology and extraterrestrial geology, paleobotany, ecology and systematics, biogeochemistry, limnology, soil genesis, soil mineralogy, soil and rock mechanics, remote sensing, environmental fluid mechanics and hydrology, fluid dynamics, elasticity, geotechnical and earthquake engineering, regional planning, hydraulics and hydrology, and materials science and engineering. 

At least one minor subject outside the field is required for the doctoral degree. Before the end of their third semester in residence, all students must take a qualifying examination. This exam, an addition to those required by the Graduate School, determines the candidate's fitness for undertaking advanced studies and enables the student's special committee to plan programs that will make the student familiar with the requisite knowledge in the chosen areas. 

Research and Study Opportunities: 

Research programs are being conducted by the field in such diverse areas as fluid cycling in subduction zones; space-based geodetic studies of faults, volcanoes, and anthropogenic deformation; interaction of tectonics, topography, and climate in major mountain systems; investigation of igneous rocks in arc systems; tectonics, seismology, sedimentation, and geomorphology of the central Andes; planetary science, comparative planetology, and solar system exploration; seismic reflection profiling of the deep crust and upper mantle; mechanics and properties of subduction zone megathrusts and other large faults; induced earthquakes; using seismic signals of earth noise to understand atmospheric and solid-earth phenomena; development and application of earth system models; response of marine ecosystems to climate variability and change; surface responses to extreme precipitation; dynamics and mechanics of the lithosphere and asthenosphere; application of geophysical techniques to environmental and archaeological problems; marine ecological and paleontological studies; sedimentology and diagenesis of mudstones; dynamics of marine ecosystems and organisms from plankton to whales using remote sensing and other tools; volcanic hazard assessment; biogeochemistry, soil development, and dynamics in young volcanic terrains; geochemistry and geophysics of oceanic islands, mid-ocean ridges and island arcs; and remote sensing of seismic and volcanic deformation of the crust.

The field maintains working agreements with institutions worldwide to facilitate research projects in those areas or to work on materials especially accessible there. Current and recent graduate students have carried out field investigations in such diverse places as Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, Honduras, Chile, Argentina, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Monterey Bay (California), Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, and Tibet. The Paleontological Research Institution, located near the campus, has world-renowned facilities and collections available to students interested in paleontology.

Major Concentrations:

economic geology engineering geology environmental geophysics general geology geobiology geochemistry and isotope geology geohydrology geomorphology geophysics geotectonics mineralogy ocean science and technology paleontology petroleum geology petrology planetary geology Precambrian geology Quaternary geology rock mechanics sedimentology seismology stratigraphy structural geology

Ph.D. students choose a major advisor representing one of the above concentrations and two or more minor advisors, one of which must represent a minor from a field outside of geological sciences. Astronomy, chemistry, ecology and evolutionary biology, education, and civil engineering are just a few of the examples of typical outside minors. Together, these advisors form the special committee that guides the student's program. The same is true for M.S. students, but they need choose only a single minor advisor. There are no specific course or credit requirements for the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees; rather, a student's coursework is determined by the special committee. Generally the last two to three years of the Ph.D. program and last year or more of the M.S. program are devoted entirely to dissertation or thesis research. 

Application and Admission

How to Apply

We strongly recommend that potential applicants contact faculty members with whom they are interesting in studying before applying.

We accept applications online via the  Cornell Graduate School website . You should specify the "field of geological sciences" as there is no graduate field of earth and atmospheric sciences. In your essay, please indicate clearly the discipline(s) within geological sciences in which you are interested (e.g., "active tectonics," "low temperature geochemistry," "global change," etc.). Your essay, and indeed your entire application, will be stronger if you have carefully investigated Cornell's strengths via these webpages and individual faculty pages, the published literature, and have contacted individual faculty with whom you might be interested in working.

Please note that Cornell University expects all applicants to complete their application materials without the use of paid agents, credential services, or other paid professional assistance. The use of such services violates University policy, and may lead to the rejection of application materials, the revocation of an admissions offer, cancellation of admission, or involuntary withdrawal from the University.

Application deadlines

Fall: January 1st

Spring: Check with field  (we typically don't admit students for the spring term)

Financial Aid

Information on tuition and fees  can be found on the Cornell Graduate School website. There are a variety of forms of financial aid available to graduate students at Cornell. Nearly all our Ph.D. and M.S. students receive financial aid that provides tuition, academic-year stipend and health insurance. Summer support may also be available. This financial aid is generally available for up to five years for Ph.D. students and two years for M.S. students and is contingent upon satisfactory academic progress.

• Department fellowships—the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences typically has available to it two fellowships, known as the Long Fellowship and the McMullen Fellowship.
• Cornell Fellowships—the field of geological sciences typically has available to it two Cornell Fellowships , which are awarded to incoming Ph.D. students.
• Teaching assistantships—students supported on teaching assistantships spend an average of 15 hours a week assisting with the teaching of courses in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. This teaching experience is vital to those wishing to go on to a teaching career and it is likely that many graduate students will be appointed as a teaching assistant at some point during their Cornell career.
• Graduate research assistantships—most graduate students in geological sciences are supported as graduate research assistants through a faculty member's externally funded research project.
• National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowships —we encourage all applicants and first-year graduate students to apply directly to NSF for these prestigious and competitive graduate fellowships.
• NASA Fellowships—graduate students commonly apply for these fellowships after their first year, when their research project has become well-defined.
• Fellowships from international governments, agencies, or companies—graduate students may be sponsored by an agency in their home nation.
• Other fellowships—we occasionally have students supported on Department of Energy or Department of Defense fellowships.

What is Petroleum Geology?

Petroleum geology is a specific field of geosciences that addresses the origin, distribution, exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas resources. Petroleum geoscientists include many types of specialties such as petroleum geologists, exploration geophysicists, geochemists, sedimentary geologists, structural geologists, and paleontologists.

Petroleum geology involves the analysis of 1) source rocks that are rich in organic matter – the source of oil and natural gas, 2) geological structures and stratigraphic layers that permit accumulations of petroleum to form in the subsurface (traps and seals), and 3) the characteristics of porous subsurface rock formations that store oil and natural gas (petroleum reservoirs). 

Petroleum geology is exciting because one uses many different types of data such as rock cores from wells, well logs that provide information about the rock and fluid properties, and 3D seismic images, all of which are used to develop 2D and 3D maps and models of the subsurface and the distribution of petroleum resources, and to calculate volumes of oil and natural gas that exist in different areas (petroleum reserves estimates).  

View Checksheet

Do my interests fit?

Petroleum geology students have a variety of interests:

• Earth and planetary science
• Computer science and visualization
• Working in the field/outdoors
• Working in the laboratory
• Problem solving and creativity
• Qualitative to quantitative analysis

Why is Petroleum Geology at OU important?

The School of Geosciences, Mewbourne School of Petroleum and Geological Engineering, and Oklahoma Geological Survey have historically had strong programs and a global reputation in petroleum research and education spanning more than 100 years (e.g., the world’s first School of Petroleum Geology was founded at OU, development of exploration seismology). Petroleum geology is an important part of the School of Geosciences and OU:

• Many students attend OU to pursue petroleum geoscience and engineering education in preparation for careers in the petroleum industry, government, and academia. Students in the School of Geosciences achieve the education and skills necessary for rewarding careers and the curriculum is taught by exceptional faculty, many of which have valuable industry experience, that incorporate active learning through laboratory- and field-based experiences.
• The petroleum industry has traditionally provided substantial funding critical for the School’s operations, scholarships, and research. Many of our alumni are benevolent donors to the School and the University.  Alumni support for the School is one of the highest for any academic unit in the University. Students have many networking opportunities with industry professionals that visit campus and through local petroleum companies.
• Given our reputation, strength in petroleum geoscience and engineering, and quality of our students, many leading energy companies (15-30+) recruit at OU each year. Many students remain in Oklahoma and contribute to our local economy and communities.
• OU is in the heart of a major petroleum province and is surrounded by several key active petroleum plays. Accounting for 10% of the State’s gross income, petroleum is the backbone of Oklahoma’s economy; Oklahoma ranks 4th in crude oil and 3rd in natural gas production in the U.S.  OU is close to many localities for fascinating geology field trips and site visits to petroleum company offices and laboratories.
• Society will utilize petroleum resources to provide energy, as well as thousands of non-energy products, for many decades into the future.  Moreover, subsurface skill sets in petroleum geology can be readily adapted to problems involving CO 2 sequestration, hydrology, and other important societal issues.  

What courses will I take?

For the B.S. degree in Geology (Petroleum option), courses are the same as the General geology option but also include several petroleum-related courses:

     For example, some of the fundamental geology courses you will take include:

• Introduction to Mineral Sciences
• Sedimentary Petrology and Sedimentology
• Structural Geology

Research Direction    

Petroleum Geoscience provides the knowledge, understanding, and assessment of how hydrocarbon resources are formed and where they occur. This provides key information and direction for the design of cost-effective, successful exploration and production projects. This requires fresh ideas regarding depositional systems and the petroleum systems they contain, particularly with regard to the distribution of source rocks and reservoir rocks. The major disciplines of Petroleum Geoscience are Petroleum Geology, Petrophysics, Geophysics, Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, Structural Geology and Petroleum Geochemistry. The integration of these various disciplines is presently in place at the Department of Geology, UM, under two working sub-groups i.e. PEAK (Petroleum Exploration Advanced Knowledge) and SEARCH (Source Evaluation And Reservoir Characterisation) units. The Source-Evaluation component of the SEARCH unit is well established, with a productive history of research and publication, described in the "Research Accomplishments and Findings" section below. 

The Reservoir Characterisation component of SEARCH represents a new advanced, long-term, multidisciplinary research initiative within the Petroleum Geoscience Group. This programme provides a support framework for the new MSc in Petroleum Geology by 70% Research as well as the existing MSc and PhD by Research programmes. The programme builds on the technical expertise represented by the recent expansion of petroleum geology staff. Components of the programme will include quantitative digital outcrop modeling of reservoir analogs pertinent to Malaysia, particularly heterolithic clastic reservoirs and naturally fractured reservoirs, as well as investigations in reservoir quality/diagenesis. Thus, issues from field-scale to pore throats will be addressed in an integrated manner to provide relevant results that can aid planning of improved and enhanced hydrocarbon recovery projects by the local petroleum industry. The capabilities of this research component are enhanced by the recent acquisition of state-of -the-art SEM, XRD, and XRF. Acquisition of additional analytical instrumentation (CT scan, LiDAR, various types of porosimeters/ permeameters, etc.) is an ongoing goal in support of the programme. This programme will lead to increased support by the local and international petroleum industry as well as collaboration with international academic research consortia.

Research Areas        

  1. Basin, geodynamics & petroleum system analysis/modeling     

  2. Conventional and fractured reservoir characterisation and modeling           

  3. Digital core analysis 

  4. Characterisation of oil-prone coals         

  5. Coal resources and quality assessment     

  6. Organic petrological and geochemical characterisation of organic-rich sediments.   

  7. Petroleum source rock evaluation                     

  8. Sedimentary facies and sequence stratigraphy

Research Accomplishments and Findings         

The main accomplishment of PEAK has been the establishment of the capability to provide advanced applied knowledge through teaching, training and field guides/seminars to postgraduate students and offering consultancy services to oil/service companies through specifically designed training programmes and tailored projects for local and overseas participants and companies. For example, a comprehensive, multi-month geology and geophysics training programme was conducted by Department staff for professional personnel from the Equatorial Guinea Energy Ministry. Among SEARCH unit main accomplishments is the ability to obtain oil companies grant (e.g. ExxonMobil) and sponsorship of their staff (e.g. Shell) to undertake research at Geology Department, UM. Members of the unit are embarking on integrated research under Borneo Project, the findings of which would benefit the ever challenging oil and gas exploration activities within the surrounding region. The new, collaborative initiatives of the Reservoir Characterisation component of SEARCH further benefit the Malaysian petroleum industry by addressing topical issues pertinent to production and field development. We are utilizing state of the art software such as Petrel, PetroMod, Roxar RMS, Petrosys, etc in combination with advanced source rock evaluation techniques (e.g. GC-MS, Py-GC, SRA, VR analyses) and reservoir characterisation methodologies (e.g. Interactive Petrophysics, Norsar SeisRox, Midland Valley MOVE, etc). We have studied & characterised major source rock types of NW Borneo basins, performed facies analysis, carried out analogue studies, stratigraphic correlation between onshore and offshore petroleum province, as well as establishing the first MSc Petroleum Geology Programme in Malaysia that has enrolled students from around the world e.g., Pakistan, Libya, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Nigeria, Oman, UAE, Italy and UK.
