Overview

Key facts

Geoscientists are caretakers of the Earth's resources and environment. They work to understand natural processes on Earth and other planets. By applying knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological forces that shape the Earth, geoscientists seek to reconstruct the past and anticipate the future.

Career opportunities in the Geological Sciences are excellent, including the petroleum and mineral exploration industries, the environmental industry, and research and education in the academia.

Mission

The mission of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at University of Miami is to deepen our collective knowledge of our planet through cutting-edge scientific research on the oceans, atmosphere, geology, biota, and the human dimension, while training the next generation of scientists. We transfer the knowledge gained to our students, the national and international scientific community, and to policymakers and the public.

The undergraduate educational mission of the Geological Sciences program is to instill an understanding of Earth history, processes and dynamics so as to prepare our students to be meaningful contributors to and leaders of society in research, education and business.
