The Master of Science (MS) degree at the Jackson School of Geosciences is considered to be the professional degree for a career in the Geosciences. This degree is the foundation for students pursuing employment in the petroleum industry, environmental and hydrogeological fields, state and federal government agencies, and other related geoscience fields. Some students also use the MS degree as preparation for pursuing a Ph.D.
The Energy & Earth Resources Interdisciplinary program provides the opportunity for students to prepare themselves in management, finance, economics, law and policy leading to analytical and leadership positions in resource-related fields. The private sector and government organizations face a growing need for professionals that can plan, evaluate, and manage complex resource projects, commonly international in scope, which often include partners with a variety of professional backgrounds.
As requirements for these degrees, students must present a professional talk on Master’s Thesis Presentations.

Biological anthropologist Dr. Liza Shapiro invites us to rethink how we move in this Hot Science – Cool Talks. From nimble monkeys to powerful apes, primates walk, climb, leap, and scramble in different ways. And humans? We are the odd ones out, but Dr. Shapiro reveals how comparing living primates, studying fossils and using cutting-edge biomechanical analysis can help us understand the deep evolutionary origins of our own unique form of walking.

UTIG Fall Seminar Series 2026: Jason SylvanAugust, 28 2026Time: 10:30 AM - 11:30 AMLocation: UTIG Seminar Conference Room - 10601 Burnet Road, Bldg. 196/ROC 1.603 Speaker: Jason Sylvan, Department of Oceanography, Texas A&M University, professor Title: Very much alive ecosystems on dead hydrothermal vent deposits Host: Chris Lowery and Elizabeth Spiers Abstract: Active hydrothermal vent systems are a vital component of the ocean system, balancing elemental budgets, exchanging heat with the Earth’s interior, and hosting unique biological communities. While decades of study have produced robust descriptions of microbial and animal communities on and within actively venting deposits, interest in the study of their inactive counterparts is more recent. Inactive hydrothermal deposits are a potential target for deep sea mining of precious minerals, therefore it is more important than ever to document and study them to understand what ecosystem services they provide and what potentially unique biology they host to help inform conservation and management practices should mining occur. Prior and ongoing work by myself and other researchers has shown that there is a succession of microorganisms on hydrothermal deposits after vents become inactive, resulting in a microbial community with different functional potential than on actively venting deposits. This is important because it indicates that inactive vent microbial communities comprise a unique ecosystem from those on active vents or other deep sea habitats. While the identity of microorganisms on inactive vent deposits is now understood in a broad sense, rates of processes and the presence and/or identity of animal communities are still largely unconstrained. In this seminar, I will provide an introduction to inactive hydrothermal vent deposits as an ecosystem, including what microorganisms are present, and present recent developments from my lab and collaborators on their microbial ecology, the ecosystem services they are known to provide, and what little is known about animal communities on these features.

Big Rivers on Mars!September, 18 2026Time: 5:30 AM - 8:15 AMLocation: Welch Grand Hallway and 2.224 Auditorium What can ancient rivers on Mars reveal about the planet’s past and its potential for life? In this Hot Science – Cool Talks with Timothy Goudge, explore ancient rivers, catastrophic floods, and massive drainage systems on Mars, and how the planet’s lack of plate tectonics shaped its unique landscape and potential for life. By studying relic rivers and water-shaped landscapes on Mars, scientists are uncovering clues about the planet’s history and where life may once have had a chance to exist. After all, where waters flow, life often follows. |
