NOTE: Prior to 2001, the Department of Earth and Planetary Science (EPS) was called the Department of Geology and Geophysics (G&G). In 1989, the Department of Paleontology was disestablished and its faculty became part of the Department of Integrative Biology (IB); paleontology students are identified simply as UCMP prior to 1989.
