地球与太空探索科学学士学位（地质科学）

地球和太空探索专业的学生了解地球的现在，过去和未来。地质科学专业的学生探索地球的物理和化学，应用野外和实验室技术来了解山脉的形成方式，火山爆发和地震的发生，并绘制和调查相互作用以更好地了解我们的星球。地质科学是对地球和其他行星的研究，着重研究了自太阳系起源以来影响它们的过程。学生探索诸如生命，海洋，大气层和地球气候系统共同进化的主题，以及以岩石，土壤，冰和同位素编码的进化记录。地质科学专业的地球与空间探索理学士学位课程向学生学习了地质科学的基础知识，为化学，数学和物理学以及工程，天文学和行星科学的跨学科培
Explore Earth's past, present and future. Study natural hazards, the distribution of critical minerals and the record of Earth system evolution. Apply this knowledge to help find sustainable solutions for the energy and resource needs of human civilization and to mitigate the effects of natural hazards and climate change. The BS program in Earth and space exploration with an emphasis in geological and planetary sciences uncovers the processes that have shaped the Earth and other planets since the origin of the solar system. Students explore the coevolution of Earth's life, oceans, atmosphere and climate system and how their evolution is recorded in rocks, soil, ice and isotopes.<br><br>Students learn traditional and modern field methods, data analysis and more to effectively study the natural environment. This knowledge empowers graduates to work for the benefit of local, national and global communities. They also have the opportunity to study the potential for extraterrestrial life and the possibilities for the colonization of space.<br><br>In addition to the guidelines in the Concurrent Program Options section below, students interested in pursuing concurrent or second baccalaureate degrees in The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are advised to visit The College's website for more information and requirements.
