地质科学（荣誉）学士学位（专业）

水资源，矿产和能源的发现与开发及其可持续性是其中的关键部分。但是，应对气候变化，人类对我们世界的影响以及全球人口不断增长所面临的自然灾害也是如此。这些都取决于对通过地质学研究获得的自然过程的深刻理解。我们的学生在这种背景下研究地球，在矿物和石油勘探，采矿和碳氢化合物开采，地表和地下建筑，环境评估，保护和修复，地下水调查和资源管理等各个领域都有高要求的职业。作为地质科学专业的学生，​​您将以多种方式学习。许多课程以小组形式涉及实验室和现场工作。第二年和更高年级的课程包括几次扩展的实地考察。
The Department of Geography and Planning is an integrated department that studies the earth's places, societies, environments and landscapes. The Department is unique in bridging the social sciences and humanities (i.e., human geography) and planning with physical geography. Geography and Planning puts this understanding of social and physical processes within the context of places and regions - recognizing the great differences in cultures, political systems, economies, landscapes, and environments across the world, and the links between them. In physical geography we study natural processes, their interactions, and both naturally and human-generated environmental issues. In the social sciences we study a variety of social problems, with a special focus on the uneven distribution of resources and services at scales from the local to the global. In humanities research we explore how human beings have made, and continue to make, the places (physical, social and metaphorical) in which they live. In all these areas, Queen's Geography and Planning has scholars and teachers of international repute who are dedicated to making a dynamic and innovative research and teaching environment and a warm and supportive interpersonal environment for our students and faculty.
