Geology

Graduate Program in Geology (Master's and Doctoral Degrees)

Program Description

The Graduate Program in Geology (PPGeo) was created in 1975 with the implementation of the Master's degree. In 1988, PPGeo begins the doctoral program. Over these 40 years the research lines have been progressively adapted and implemented according to regional and national expectations, seeking the production of scientifically recognized research and training of quality professionals with insertion in various areas of geosciences.

Great public demand for remote sensing and geoprocessing techniques has made PPGeo one of the national centers of reference. PPGeo’s laboratory complex is one of the best equipped in the country and has attracted researchers from various countries, especially from Latin America, favoring technical-scientific exchange.
