Partnerships

Humboldt Geology maintains partnerships with local and regional public agencies through long-lasting research collaborations. In addition, there is a strong record of these agencies hiring Humboldt Geology graduates.

Students gain real world experience working with these groups, and make connections that go beyond their college experience. The work also provides valuable information to academics, the media, and the public about safety, preparedness, and more.

Here is a list of resources and groups you can learn from and work with during your time at Humboldt.
