Hess fellows are usually appointed each year. Applicants must have
obtained a Ph.D. at the time of the start of the fellowship, but not
more than five years before. Current areas of research include:

 • Biogeochemical Cycles  • Paleoclimatology
 • Environmental Chemistry  • Paleontology
 • Geochemistry   • Petrology
 • Geodynamics   • Seismology    • Geomicrobiology   • Structural
Geology
 • Mineral Physics   • Tectonics

Candidates should send a letter of application and the supporting
materials listed below to the HESS FELLOWS COMMITTEE, Department of
