The Department of Geosciences at Florida Atlantic University is housed on the Boca Raton campus and offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in various subfields of the geosciences. The three main areas of focus in the department are earth systems science (leading to the B.A., B.S., or M.S. in geology), human-environmental systems science (leading to the B.A., B.S. or M.A. in geography) and geo-information science (also leading to the B.A., B.S. or M.A. in geography).

     I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our programs, facilities and faculty. We are proud of the research specialties that we have developed in hydrogeology, paleontology and paleo-environments, human-environmental modeling, and urban and regional development. The Department places a strong emphasis on fieldwork, GIS, remote sensing and other analytical techniques in geospatial modeling, and encourages interdisciplinary research. We have strong relationships with the Center for Environmental Studies, the Environmental Science Program, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Department of Urban and Regional Planning
