Geology is the science of Earth and its planetary neighbours. It focuses on the fundamental principles and processes that shape our evolving planet. Geology is an interdisciplinary science that encompasses all other sciences within it, but all share a core of knowledge about the composition of Earth materials. Geology explores the character of Earth from its surface environment to its core, including its composition, structure, prehistoric life, internal and surficial processes, and the impact of geology on our everyday lives. The goal is to understand and protect the planet through discovery, education, and outreach. Students study geosciences in the classroom, laboratory and field, and make use of the whole Earth as their field area. The curriculum provides students with hands-on experience studying earth materials, often in small experiential settings. Research opportunities are available for students to work with faculty studying a broad array of topics in the Geosciences spanning climate and environmental change, tectonics and dynamics of Earth's interior, sustainable extraction of energy and minerals, and extinction events throughout Earth's history. The program provides the academic foundation for a professional degree, graduate education, and a variety of employment opportunities in geosciences and related fields.
