Recommendations for programs to apply for PhD in Geomicrobiology

[sunhydros]

Hi, I'm currently a first year MS student in geology and considering applying for PhD programs next fall focusing in geomicrobiology. My thesis is focused on groundwater chemistry and microbial contributions to denitrification. I'd be interested in continuing with hydrology, biogeochemistry, and aquatic microbiology related research, but would also be open to other topics that are broadly related to geomicrobiology. So far I've identified U of Michigan and CU Boulder as potential programs to apply. If anyone has advice for other programs to consider, I'd appreciate your insight. Thanks!

Take a look at your thesis. Look at the authors you reference. Apply to work with those authors. That is if you want to continue on a similar research path.
