UTIG research activities are carried out all over the world and includelarge-scale, multi-investigator, multi-institutional field programs. Theimportance of geophysical measurements and of their mathematical interpretationin the exploration for petroleum and economically useful minerals has also ledto valuable partnerships between UTIG and industry. The Institute forGeophysics presently hosts 28 research scientists, two post-doctoral fellows,and two emeritus professors. The support staff includes engineers, systemsanalysts, technicians, and administrative personnel.UTIG strives to conduct research that expands the frontiers of knowledge inEarth science, has societal and economic relevance, and is of human interest.Dedicated to basic and applied research alike, the Institute aims to enhancehumanity's fundamental understanding of the dynamic geophysical processes thathave influenced and continue to influence Earth's structure and climate.Website: http://www.ig.utexas.edu/[Summary provided by the University of Texas.]
