地球科学学士学位

地理科学领域是当今世界上许多最紧迫的问题的核心：地球资源和能源，自然灾害，人与环境的相互作用以及气候变化。通过多样化的课程，小班授课以及强大的野外和实验室课程，地球科学系使学生能够了解地球如何运转以及如何解决现实问题。地球科学是实验室实验，现场观察，数据分析和计算机建模的独特结合。地球科学课程将生物学，化学，物理学，计算机科学和数学原理应用于实际的地球问题，处理从全局到原子的长度尺度，并考虑从数十亿年到不到一秒的时间尺度。灵活的学术课程允许学生发展个性化的学习课程。学习地球科学的本科生通常从事基础研究，能
The field of geosciences is central to many of the most pressing issues of today's world: Earth resources and energy, natural hazards, human/environment interaction, and climate change. Through diverse coursework, small class sizes, and strong field and laboratory programs, the Department of Geosciences empowers students to understand how the Earth works and how to solve real-world problems. Geoscience is a unique blend of lab experiments, field observation, data analysis, and computer modeling. Courses in geosciences apply principles of biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, and mathematics to real Earth problems, deal with length scales from global to atomic, and consider time scales from billions of years to less than a second. The flexible academic program allows students to develop individualized course of study. Undergraduates studying geosciences often pursue careers in basic research, the energy industry, and education. Geosciences also provides a foundation for careers in applied research, environmental consulting, engineering, public policy, conservation, resource economics, environmental education, and general consulting.
