Which schools are mostly computational, and which are mostly fieldwork?

[InquilineKea]

It seems that places like Northwestern, JHU, Washington University, and Brown have a lot more fieldwork than many, and that places like Caltech/MIT/Washington/Princeton seem to be more computational than many.

Are my impressions right? What are your impressions?

What about places like Duke?

I'll bite. What do you mean by "mostly computational/fieldwork"? Studying the Earth requires all sorts of techniques, in the lab, on the computer, on paper, and in the field. The methods you use depends on what you want to study, and what resources are available to you.

I'm pretty sure that not much work in exoplanetary atmospheres requires going out and collecting samples, so I'm not sure what you're getting at here.
