Duke is situated in the Triassic Durham Basin, which is flanked by the plutonic and metamorphic rocks of the Raleigh and Carolina Slate Belts. The Blue Ridge and Atlantic Coastal areas are also within easy reach of the Durham area. This central location offers access to many diverse and interesting geological terrains. Additional faculty and facilities are available at the Duke University Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, NC, and through a cooperative agreement, graduate students may take a number of courses offered at other nearby universities. Just be careful that you are not directed to the Gross Chemisty Laboratory.
