Program Description

The mission of the Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) program in Geobiological Systems Science is focused on the geomicrobiology of complex microbiological systems, and brings together expertise in hydrodynamics, geochemistry, microbial ecology, biochemistry and genomics. The primary goal of this Ph.D. program is to train students to use consistent and coherent interdisciplinary approaches in the study of microbial communities, and that lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the important interface between the biosphere and geosphere. This novel Ph.D. training program encompasses research scientists focused on the microbiology of extreme thermal, psychrophilic, or industrial biofilm communities.
