The Department of Geosciences strongly encourages graduate students to submit their scientific work for publication in peer-reviewed journals and for presentation at national and regional meetings. Presentation of findings should be undertaken with the supervision of the advisor or members of the committee.

The Department and the Graduate School may help defray the expense of presenting a paper at a professional meeting. Notice of accepted publications, awards, and presentations must be provided to the committee and to the department secretary, and should also be added to a CV, which may also be held by the department secretary.
