Overview
Geoscientists study our planet. Environmental Geoscience is an applied science that includes the study of Earth’s minerals, soil, water and energy resources:
- how Earth’s natural systems work today,
- how they operated in the recent and ancient past, and
- how we expect they may behave in the future.
In the program, students study the geological and geographic composition of the environment that leads to a more holistic understanding of the forces and processes that shape Earth. It integrates foundational geoscience disciplines including, geology, geomorphology and hydrology, alongside fundamental science disciplines that can include biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics.
Students learn about the physical forces that shaped and continue to form landscapes and how human activities contribute to changing the physical environment. Students that complete this professional degree find work in environmental consulting, environmental monitoring, environmental geochemistry, surface mapping, identification and mitigation of natural hazards and management of industrial and domestic wastes.
