The career of EOAS Emeritus Professor James Tull, former FSU Departments of Geology and EOAS Chairs, was honored by a special Symposium in his honor at the 73rd Annual Southeastern Meeting of the Geological Society of America (GSA) in Asheville, North Carolina, in April 2024. Sixteen presentations were given in a special session chaired by colleagues and students that focused on his career research topics, including several by his former graduate students.
Chemical Oceanography graduate student Neda Mobasher received the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP) award this year. Her research focuses on reconstructing climate change and nutrient cycling in the tropical Pacific Ocean over the past 3,000 years using the geochemistry of coral skeletons.
Departmental Vision
The Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science (EOAS) conducts research and offers instruction in the fields of Environmental Science, Geology, Oceanography, and Meteorology. The Department’s goals are to contribute to scientific knowledge by conducting world‐class research, and to be a source of information for the public and decision makers. The department offers undergraduate degrees in environmental sciences with a strong interdisciplinary core, and in geology and meteorology. Graduate degrees are offered in environmental science, geology, oceanography and meteorology at MS and PhD levels.
To offer the best education, our tenure track faculty personally teach and mentor students, minimizing the role of adjuncts. EOAS faculty are resolute in the belief that their science plays an essential role in the life of the University, state and nation and in the education of tomorrow’s leaders. They are committed to expanding and strengthening that role. EOAS faculty are also committed to offering students rigorous field‐camps, research experiences and cruises, and internships. These experiences are essential to a rounded education. EOAS retains excellence in its established areas of research with vigorous recruitment of highly qualified graduate students and faculty.
