Caltech's geologists focus on a field- and laboratory-based approach to understanding tectonic, petrologic, climatic, and surface processes. Opportunities for field study and research in the earth sciences in Southern California and other localities around the world are abundant, and faculty and students often venture out of the laboratory toget price
Petrology Facilities. The Division has apparatus capable of reproducing and maintaining for many hours the conditions where petrological processes occur, ranging from the surface of the earth to depths of about 650 kilometers. Conditions at much greater depths are studied (briefly) in the Caltech shock wave laboratory.get price
Surface Processes. The study of the surface morphology and rock records of terrestrial planets thrives at Caltech because of strong research programs across a broad range of topics and because of a distinctive tradition of collaboration among disciplines. Core faculty investigate active tectonics, tectonic geomorphology, remote sensing ofget price
2022-6-6 Geology in GPS. Our educational and research programs in geology bring a range of field, remote sensing, and laboratory-based approaches to understanding tectonic, petrologic, climatic, surficial, and paleontological processes and the history of the Earth and its regions. In pursuit of field areas that preserve rich records of key geologicalget price
Tectonic Processes. Our research in Tectonics aims at unraveling the relationships between earthquakes and aseismic fault slip, fault properties, crustal deformation and landscape evolution. Faculty in this area use a broad range of techniques to document active deformation (seismology, GPS geodesy, remote sensing, morphotectonics), and theget price

Climatic Processes. The climate of the Earth -- that is, the long-term patterns of temperature, precipitation, winds, and atmospheric and oceanic composition -- has evolved over time and left traces in the rocks, soils, and fossils that formed in contact with the changing environment. Geologists, geobiologists, and geochemists can thereforeget price
