地质科学理学学士-地球物理学

该选项忽略了某些传统学科（例如古生物学），并增加了数学和物理课程。地球物理学的一个分支是对深层地球的地震研究，一种商业应用是地球上最远​​几公里的地震成像，用于油气勘探。许多地球物理学专业的学生寻求寻找碳氢化合物的工作。
Geophysicists study the dynamics and structure of the Earth and other planets using observational, forward and inverse modeling approaches. Imaging techniques use seismic, gravity, and electro-magnetic signals, which can be either actively generated during surveys from the Earth's surface and from satellites or passively recorded from naturally occurring phenomena such as earthquakes.<br><br>In collaboration with other geoscientists, geophysicists study evolving planetary systems and the interactions between the deep Earth and surface environments. Topics include environmental studies, marine processes, hydrology, glaciology, volcanoes, earthquakes, tectonics, impacts, resources, shallow hazards, and convection of planetary mantles. From global studies to microscopic scales, and from processes happening on timescales of seconds to billions of years, geophysicists contribute fundamental insights into physical processes and properties of the Earth. With a geophysics degree, students are well equipped to solve cutting-edge problems in a wide range of disciplines, from fundamental Earth and climate science research to applications in the energy sector, data science and technology, and national security.
