I just thought we should have a place for anyone in geology to make any kind of random geology related post they needed. Here we go.http://upload3.postimage.org/80079/MountHiller_typelocalityforlacoliths.jpg

I'm a fellow geologist!

Where all did you apply and what's your status?

I'm currently a MS student at UNC - CH and applied to Wisconsin, Syracuse, Kansas, Montana, and Minnesota.

Accepted: Wisconsin, Kansas, Montana

Rejected: Minnesota

Not sure what they are doing but don't care: Syracuse

I've signed on for my PhD in the geochemistry group at Wisconsin, I'll be working on oxygen isotopes in zircon of metamorphic rocks (UHP/HP) to understand exhumation mechanisms of these rocks.

I applied to six schools in all. I have heard back from four, only one of them was bad news. I am still waiting on the University of Texas and Penn State. I am going crazy waiting on these last two. I do not know where I want to go yet, though one is slightly in the lead. I will be flying out to visit two of the schools I have been accepted to beginning this week. Where I go depends on the visits at this point; what will be the best fit.

How did your visits go? Have you made a decision yet? Hear from Penn State?

I've just finished my last visit and am having a hard time with the decision. In the back of my head I think I know what I want to do but I'm reluctant to jump too quickly.

No decisions yet, I have one more visit this week, and then I must decide. Nope, no news from Penn State yet, so sad, I REALLY liked the program and the people (well from what I could tell through email contact and internet info). What schools are you debating over at this point?

Hello friends!
excuse me, can you advise me useful books for those who begins studying geology and its environmental questions? I had found some books in the free scientific library - for example that

That website is pretty awesome and gives you more classroom type knowledge with exams to test yourself.
