地球生物学理学学士

通过地球生物学专业的理学学士学位，将研究重点放在生命的历史及其与地球的相互作用上。该计划汇集了地球科学和生物学以及相关领域的课程，涵盖了生命的历史及其在地质时期与地球的相互作用。地理生物学是对地球及其生物圈的跨学科研究。它涵盖了生命的历史及其在地质时期与地球的相互作用，还包括研究地球上现代环境以及宇宙中其他地方的活生物体与物理和化学过程之间的相互作用。因此，地球生物学涵盖了古生物学和古生物学，生物地球化学，地球微生物学和天体生物学领域。该学位课程为学生提供了通识科学（尤其是地球科学和生物学）的强大背景，并
Geobiology is the interdisciplinary study of the Earth and its biosphere. It embraces the history of life and its interactions with the Earth over geologic time, it also includes study of interactions between living organisms and physical and chemical processes in the modern environment on Earth, and possibly elsewhere in the universe. Thus, geobiology encompasses the fields of paleobiology and paleontology, biogeochemistry, geomicrobiology, and astrobiology. The degree program provides students with a strong background in general science and especially in geosciences and biology, with core selections from both disciplines. Students gain practical field experience in the study of the physical environment and ecological properties. The senior thesis provides students with hands-on research experience, as well as an emphasis on data synthesis and the written expression of scientific observations and ideas. Students will be well prepared for advanced studies in this emerging discipline, and for careers in the environmental sciences. Geobiology is critical to the study of environmental quality, global change, and environmental-human health interactions, all of which have profound importance in legal, economic, and policy arenas.
