研究资助及附属机构

In the 地球科学 department, faculty teaching and research are tightly connected. 

作为活跃的学者, our greater depth of knowledge and range of high-level research skills creates deeper and more engaging learning opportunities for students.

petex的教育软件补助金

Software plays a vital role in 赌博娱乐平台网址大全 地球科学 classrooms and labs.  石油专家 has generously provided the 部门 of 地球科学 教育al licenses for their industry-grade software suite. This software permits students to apply 3D computer numerical modeling to complex fault and fracture systems.  Modules permit modeling of fault kinematics, 裂缝网络发育, 以及故障响应分析, all of which provide robust data that students use to predict rock deformation and fluid flow in natural systems. 的 value of this donation, estimated by 石油专家, is $2,764,444.11
