PENN STATE HYDROGEOLOGY

The Hydrogeology Program is within the nationally ranked Department of Geosciences, in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. The Hydro Program dates from 1961, and its graduates are among the nation's most outstanding hydroscientists, academics and consultants.

We welcome interested students to our B.Sc., M.S., and Ph.D. programs. Thesis and dissertation topics may emphasize field, laboratory and/or theoretical developments. Opportunities exist to develop hydroscience interests in a wide range of topics including fluid flow and solute transport processes, hydrotectonics, GIS, aqueous and organic geochemistry, hydrogeophysics, and environmental geology, among other topics. The Hydro Group is well-linked with other hydrology groups on campus, including those in Agriculture, Civil Engineering, and Forestry.
