地质科学理学硕士

地球与环境科学（EES）的目标是了解地球的动态性质-从起源到今天。我们研究了从毫秒到数十亿年的时间尺度上的地球转换。我们合作了解物理，生物和化学系统是如何形成的，并继续塑造地球。在自然科学中，这是典型的跨学科科学。除了地震，岩石学，水文学，地球微生物学，古生物学，地球化学，矿物物理学，构造学和认知学等地质学科外，EES的学生还可以期望修读相关科学课程，包括生物学，化学，物理，数学和计算科学。该多学科课程提供了关于自然资源可用性，对环境危害的评估和响应以及人类对地球系统的影响等问题的独特视角。我们的目标是为
Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) target understanding the dynamic nature of the Earth - from its origin to today. We study the transformation of Earth over timescales ranging from milliseconds to billions of years. We collaborate to understand how physical, biological, and chemical systems formed and continue to shape the Earth. Among the natural sciences, this is the quintessential interdisciplinary science. In addition to geological disciplines, including seismology, petrology, hydrology, geomicrobiology, paleobiology, geochemistry, mineral physics, tectonics, and cognition, EES students can expect to take courses in related sciences, including biology, chemistry, physics, math, and computational sciences. This multi-disciplinary curriculum provides a unique perspective on issues such as the availability of natural resources, assessment and response to environmental hazards, and the influence of humans on Earth systems. Our goal is to prepare graduates to lead the way in shaping decisions concerning the stewardship of our planet.
