At the University of Wyoming Department of Geology and Geophysics, research takes faculty and students to the ends of the earth and blazes trails in our own neck of the woods. Sure, our faculty and students attract millions of dollars in grants each year. They get published and present their work at professional meetings. Yes, we're proud of our contributions to the community of science. But we're also proud of what research does here in the department.
Research opens doors, gives students new ways of thinking and talking about age-old ideas.
It gives them hands-on experience in the field and in the lab. Here, research doesn't hide in an ivory tower. It's in the classroom.
