Stanford university. School of earth sciences

When Stanford University opened in 1891, two of its academic departments were Geology and Mining Engineering. When the departments were organized into Schools in 1926, geology became part of the School of Physical Sciences and mining was placed in the School of Engineering. In January 1947, the School of Mineral Sciences was organized, with A.I. Levorsen as its first Dean. The School, known now as the School of Earth Sciences, has five departments: applied earth sciences, environmental studies, geology, geophysics, and petroleum engineering.
