The CSL - Center for Carbonate Research and Education is part of the Department of Marine Geoscience at the Rosenstiel School for Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami. The student wishing to prepare for graduate work in Marine Geoscience must be well trained in the basic sciences. According to the special interests of the individual, the undergraduate major and minor should be in geology, physics, chemistry, and or mathematics. The Department of Marine Geosciences offers M.S. and Ph.D. programs in the following broad areas.

• Environmental Geology & Geochemistry
• Sedimentary Systems & Marine Geology
• Igneous Petrology and Geochemistry
• Applied Geophysics
• Geodesy

Ms. and Ph.D. students within the CSL attend courses within the division and the school for a comprehensive education in Earth Science. The following courses for graduate students are offered by the CSL - Center for Carbonate Research and Education:
