He returned to California a year later for a faculty position at UCLA. He is currently Distinguished Professor of Geophysics and Planetary Physics in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences and the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at UCLA. He has participated in space missions to the Moon (Apollo), Venus (Pioneer Venus and Magellan), and the Jupiter System (Galileo) as an interdisciplinary scientist and experiment co-investigator. He has authored and co-authored over 460 papers and 2 books (Geodynamics, Mantle Convection in the Earth and Planets) and has had editorial responsibilities for 10 journals. His research deals broadly with the origin, evolution, and present states of the planets and moons of the solar system, including the Earth and the Moon. Professor Schubert is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has received the Harry Hess Medal and the James B.
