Welcome to the Department of Earth and Physical Sciences (Geology, Chemistry, Physics, and Astronomy)

Sul Ross State University, located in mountainous West Texas, is in an ideal locality for geologic studies. The campus, surrounded by the Trans-Pecos volcanic field, is only twenty minutes from the famous sedimentary area of the Marathon Basin and Glass Mountains and only two hours from Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park.

A special FIELD GEOLOGY (GEOL 3601) course is currently available for registration this Summer 2008 term.  For more information, follow this LINK.
