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 work in a number of fundamental and applied areas important to earth, energy and environment that include mineral and energy resources, underground construction and tunneling, geological hazards, and geochemistry, as well as surface and ground water resources.
We educate the scientists and decision makers of tomorrow.
We provide students knowledge to tackle Earth and Societies problems.
We encourage education through research with opportunity to travel globally and experience other cultures and other landscapes.
Whatever your directions in life, we want to help you forge a pathway to get there.
