YEEEE. Is one of them named Micah? Because then they must have perfect cleavage. Also metamorphism: it's hot and heavy.

You may want to check out Environmental Organic Chemistry by Schwarzenbach. There's a whole community of people who study the stuff you've mentioned, and the work is done not only in chemistry departments, but also in civil/environmental engineering and geosciences/hydrology.

no
but I have a bunch of friends who are already posting about it.... so jelly! so much geobio!

I don't know anyone doing Geobio this year but I know a few peeps who are doing CMORE, which sounds awesome ... but I'd still take Catalina + Yellowstone over Hawaii any day!

Boomhauer, how about contacting a few professors at UGA/etc. directly? I think they might generally be more willing to spend some time talking with you and pointing you in the right direction. Perhaps you could even get your hands dirty with a research project. Also, I would agree that doing a major in a basic science (bio, chem, phys) would be much more beneficial if you see yourself as wanting to go to grad school in the Earth sciences (remember that this field is not all about rocks! I don't know gneiss from schist, but I'm still definitely part of the geoscience community), especially

seems like every other textbook I come across is titled "Name of (Sub)Field: Principles and Applications" ... if I ever write a textbook I swear I will title it "FALCONPAWNCH: This Book is teh Awesome, andhasnothingtodowithvideogames" /rant

Among the students I know, basically none of them spend a significant amount of time in the interwebs. The most internetz-y place they frequent is probably Reddit. In my experience, the average geoscience student is more outdoorsy / extroverted than students in other fields of science with which I'm familiar. But perhaps I'm just not hanging out with the right group of people.

2012 Applicant Profiles and Admission Results
waddle replied to InquilineKea's topic in Earth Sciences Forum
Get rid of the smartphone now and you could save yourself a load of stress and money once you start grad school. I dunno about you but I prefer not to be anxiously awaiting the next email from my advisor or some whiny undergrad. -
2012 Applicant Profiles and Admission Results
waddle replied to InquilineKea's topic in Earth Sciences Forum
Never thought it'd be just as exciting seeing the admissions process from the other end. Congrats all who've been accepted! Do consider sticking around the Earth Sci. forum; it can get pretty lonely here sometimes. -
Have you been accepted? If so, it doesn't really matter. I showed up to two snowy school visits (one post-acceptance, one pre-) in jeans and a pair of battered sneakers. At the time, I didn't own any boots, and those were the warmest shoes I had (though I did bring along a pair of nicer shoes). I wasn't accepted to the latter school, but probably not for reasons of (lack of) style.
