The Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, formerly ''Mackay School of Mines'', is a specialized school within the University of Nevada, Reno. It is named after John William Mackay. In June 1908 the Mackay School of Mines was presented to the University of Nevada, as a memorial to him, by his widow and his son, Clarence H. Mackay. A statue of John Mackay by Gutzon Borglum stands in front of the mining building on the main quad of the campus. Part of the College of Science, the School has three academic departments: Geological Sciences and Engineering, Mining Engineering, and Geography.〔http://www.mines.unr.edu/mackay/academic〕 The Mackay School also houses four departments devoted to public service: Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, Nevada Seismological Laboratory, Nevada State Climate Office, and the Nevada Stable Isotope Laboratory. Research facilities include the Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy, Center for Research in Economic Geology, Mining Life-Cycle Center, Center for Neotectonic Studies, Arthur Brant Laboratory for Exploration Geophysics, Collaboratory for Computational Geosciences, Dendro Laboratory, and Geospatial Laboratory. The school is also affiliated with the U.S. Geological Survey and Desert Research Institute. Degrees offered include: * Geology - B.S., M.S., Ph.D. * Geological Engineering - B.S., M.S., Ph.D. * Geophysics - B.S., M.S., Ph.D. * Geochemistry - M.S., Ph.D. * Hydrogeology - B.S. * Mining Engineering - B.S., M.S., Ph.D. * Geography - B.S., M.S., Ph.D. ==W. M. Keck Earth Science and Mineral Engineering Museum== The W.M. Keck Earth Science and Metal Engineering Museum is located within the building. It focuses on early Nevada mining history, minerals, ores, fossil specimens and photographs, and also contains a collection of ornate Mackay family silver completed by Tiffany & Co. in 1878.〔http://www.unr.edu/keck W.M.
