Seismology

Prospective Graduate Students and Postdocs

Student assistantships are available each year in seismology and geodesy. We seek students interested in applying the computational tools of geophysics to issues in tectonics, earthquakes and volcanoes in Alaska and abroad. These research assistantships provide tuition and a competitive stipend, as well as travel to conferences and field work. Because of the unique experiences available in earthquake and volcano studies in Alaska, our program is quite competitive. We support both the M.S. and Ph.D. programs available through the Department of Geology and Geophysics. [ read more ]
