Students
Our multidisciplinary program offers graduate students a unique hands-on, collaborative learning environment. In addition to our core academic curriculum, we emphasize observational techniques, the collection of novel datasets, and development of cutting edge analysis methods.
Geophysics Graduate Program
As a student you'll have the opportunity to go into the field (sea and land), collect data with instruments you might have built yourself, process and analyze your data using methodologies you will learn in class and from your colleagues, build physics-based models to help interpret your observations, and work with a wide variety of faculty to understand your results within the broader context of the Earth sciences.

Our MS and PhD programs are administered by the Department of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, our home department at UC San Diego.
Research in Geophysics
IGPP research spans a huge range of topics within a variety of disciplines. We are pioneers in instrument design and data collection with a long tradition of theoretical rigor and innovative techniques. Our research extends from seafloor hydrothermal fields to the Tibetan Plateau, from atmospheric rivers to Antarctic ice shelves, and from the southern California crust to Earth’s mantle and core.
