Master's Thesis Presentations

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.

Hot Science - Cool Talks: The Way We Move

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.
