The mission of the Department of Geoscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is to research and disseminate information on the structure, chemistry, physics, and evolution of the Earth; life on Earth and in the solar system; and the interaction between physical, chemical, and biological processes that shape the Earth. We strive for breadth and excellence in our coverage of the subdisciplines within geoscience and in the creation, integration, application, and transfer of knowledge in these fields. We aim to be at the forefront of scientific research, to reach a broad audience from students to specialists, and to provide knowledge useful society. We believe that research and the creation of new knowledge are intimately inter-related with, and essential to, our programs of graduate and undergraduate education, to the Wisconsin Idea, and to the extension of the Wisconsin Idea to the world.
