Harvard’s Earth and Planetary Sciences BS trains students to read the rock record, model climate dynamics, and explore the geophysical processes shaping Earth and other worlds. Field expeditions to Icelandic volcanoes, Antarctic ice cores, and Arizona meteor-crater sites complement lab analysis of minerals and isotopes. Students leverage satellite data and high-performance computing at the Harvard Mineralogical & Geological Museum to inform pressing questions about natural hazards, resource stewardship, and planetary habitability.
