The focus of these research activities ranges from local areas in Indiana, to other parts of the U.S. (such as at the IU Geologic Field Station in Montana), to Canada, to the Caribbean and tropics, to Europe, Asia, and South America, to the oceans, to studies of globalscale phenomena, and to the Moon and Mars. Various thematic research fields, such as Astrobiology and Geoarchaeology, are also represented by wellfunded programs within the Department
