Student-Faculty Research

Students holding up a Dickinson sign on the Andes mountains.

The Department of Geosciences offers students a wealth of excellent opportunities to do science in the field, both domestically and abroad. The department prides itself on being the "global" science at Dickinson and encourages students to observe earth processes where they are occurring.

​Larger group field opportunities include the following:​

​The below list includes current and historic individual student research projects; public presentations from conferences, symposia and exhibitions; and peer-reviewed publications. For abstracts on each project see Students as Scholars.

Students can get a list of their projects by going to CLIQ in the Gateway.  Under the CLIQ menu, go to Profiles and then My ePortfolio.    If you are an alum and would like a copy of your projects, please submit a research project request form.

​“Supported by” on Student Conference Presentation records indicates the entity or funding mechanism that supported the student’s participation in the conference, e.g., travel expenses, poster costs. For on-campus conferences, the supporting entity is usually the academic department sponsoring the event.

​“Supported by” on Student Research Project records indicates the entity or funding mechanism that supported the student’s research costs, e.g., supplies, materials, equipment, stipends and local or international research travel.
