PhD Earth and Climate Sciences

4 Years On Campus Phd Program

University of Maine

Program Overview

The graduate students work with their faculty advisors in Maine as well as in many parts of the world. Projects are commonly interdisciplinary involving several different science and engineering Departments at UMaine. Our students list this as a big strength of our program. Students commonly attend professional meetings in the US and abroad to share their research, and to meet prospective employers and graduate or postdoctoral advisors. Check our Research page for more information about research topics and associated faculty members. A good strategy is to decide what broad area you are most interested in and then contact one or more faculty members to learn about the possibilities.
