• The principal challenge facing the world’s growing population is how to maintain sustainable access to the natural resources – water, energy, and food – that are necessary to enjoy a good quality of life while protecting the environment.
  • The science and engineering behind understanding and solving this challenge lie at the heart of earth science, an interdisciplinary subject that encompasses physics, chemistry, mathematics, and other sciences.
  • Geologists study the world through observation and draw conclusions based on an understanding of important scientific principles.
  • The modular nature of this course enables students to gain a solid understanding of geosciences while tailoring their study program to suit their interests
