PhD Geoscience Environmental Science

Geoscience is the scientific study of Earth processes from an interdisciplinary perspective that combines perspectives from Geography, Geology, Biology, Ecology, Chemistry, and other disciplines. The Geoscience Ph.D. candidates refine their understanding of how humans are driving environmental change and helps them create research to solve problems to preserve biodiversity for future generations.

The environmental science program is an interdisciplinary collaboration among the Department of Biological Sciences, the Department of Geography, the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Philosophy and Religion Studies and other departments at UNT to examine major environmental issues through an interdisciplinary perspective.

The program offers graduate studies in environmental science that lead to the PhD, granted through the Department of Biological Sciences. The course of study, involving both core and elective courses, is designed for those students who desire an interdisciplinary perspective concerning human-environmental interactions.
