Based on frequency with which published papers are cited by colleagues, UNH is among the top 100 American research universities. The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) currently ranks UNH <a href="http://in-cites.com/research/2001/november_5_2001-1.html">4th nationwide in environmental science</a> and, from 1998-2002, ISI ranked UNH <a href="http://in-cites.com/research/2004/april_12_2004-2.html">3rd nationwide in geosciences</a>. </p> <div id="bodyhead">Ph.D. PROGRAM </div> <p> The interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in <a href="http://www.unh.edu/nressphd/">Natural Resources and Earth System Science</a> offers students participation in advanced research at EOS. Earth Systems Science faculty research areas include: atmospheric chemistry, atmospheric and ocean dynamics, marine and terrestrial biogeochemistry, climate change, forest and wetland ecology, marine fisheries, hydrology, marine chemistry, geochemistry, paleoclimatology, and remote sensing of terrestrial and coastal ocean ecosystems.</p> <p>Ph.D. students enroll in the interdisciplinary program and tailor their academic path with guidance from an advisory committee. A guidance committee of at least five members advises a Ph.D. student on coursework and research topic, and conducts required examinations. Students are encouraged to include one off-campus committee member. Two degrees are offered under the cross-college program:<br> Ph.D. in Natural Resources and Environmental Studies<br> Ph.D. in Earth and Environmental Sciences (with options of Geology and Oceanography)</p> <div id="bodyhead">MASTER'S PROGRAM </div> <p>At the master's level, students are matriculated in the <a href="http://www.unh.edu/natural-resources/">Natural Resources</a>, <a href="http://www.unh.edu/esci/">Earth Sciences</a>, or <a href="http://zoology.unh.edu/">Zoology</a> Departments. The Department of Natural Resources offers five M.S. options in Forestry, Environmental Conservation, Soil Science, Water Resources, and Wildlife. The Department of Earth Sciences has four M.S. options in Geology, Hydrology, Oceanography, and Geochemical Systems.</p> <div id="bodyhead">MORE INFORMATION . . . </div> <p><a href="../grads/atmoschem.shtml"><strong>Atmospheric Chemistry Focus . . .</strong></a><br> <a href="../grads/biogeochem.shtml"><strong>Biogeochemical Dynamics Focus . . .</strong></a><br> <a href="../grads/climatech.shtml"><strong>Climate Change Focus . . .</strong></a><br> <a href="../grads/globalecos.shtml"><strong>Global Ecosystem Focus . . .</strong></a><br> <a href="../grads/oceanog.shtml"><strong>Oceanography Focus . . .</strong></a><br> <a href="../grads/eoscourses.shtml"><strong>EOS Course Offerings . . .</strong></a></p> </div>  <div id="footer"> <p align="center" > Copyright 2008, The University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824<br/> UNH is part of the <a href="http://www.usnh.edu">University System of New Hampshire</a>.<br /> <a href="http://www.unh.edu/about/ada.html" target="blank">ADA Disclaimer |</a> <a href="../contact/contact.shtml">Contact Us</a><br /> UNH Search: <a href="http://www.google.com/">Powered by Google</a></p></div></div></body></html>
