Engineering a Sustainable Future.
Geoscientists are explorers, educators, legislators, and leaders in the world’s quest for a sustainable future for humankind, the planet, and all of its inhabitants.
Department of Geology and Geological Engineering
The Colorado School of Mines Department of Geology and Geological Engineering is one of the premier applied geoscience programs in the world.
Our faculty, staff, and students engage in a wide range of fundamental and applied research critical to Earth, energy, and the environment — including mineral and energy resources, underground construction and tunneling, geological hazards, geochemistry, and surface and groundwater resources.
We educate the scientists and decision makers of tomorrow.
We provide students with knowledge to tackle Earth and society’s problems.
We encourage education through research, with an opportunity to travel globally and experience new cultures and landscapes.
Whatever your direction in life, we want to help you forge a pathway to get there.
