Overview
“The geoscience community provides the knowledge, experience, and ingenuity to meet society’s demands for natural resources, environmental quality, and resilience from hazards.” –American Geological Institute, 2009
Only one planet is known to sustain life. Understanding the Earth’s complex systems is essential not only to our continued way of life, but to our very survival. The geology major provides students with an understanding of Earth processes, properties, and history, to the evolution of life, and to the interactions between human beings and various environments.
In illuminating the dynamic processes that shape our planet, geology includes study of a wide range of areas, including:
- energy and climate change;
- water availability and population growth;
- waste treatment and disposal;
- sustainable land use;
- the interaction of the ocean and the atmosphere.
