Bachelor of Science - majoring in environmental geoscience or geology
University
Geologists help us to understand the origin and evolution of Earth, its ancient environments and climates, natural hazards such as landslides and earthquakes, the origin of life, and the formation of natural resources (groundwater, petroleum and minerals) on which we rely.
Knowledge of past and present Earth processes is fundamental to predicting future changes particularly in areas of climate and environmental change.
Geology is unique because of the tremendous range of scale and time: the scale of geological observations varies from micrometres (in electron microscopy) to thousands of kilometres (satellite imagery) and geological time spans of thousands of millions of years.
Geology can be studied as a major under the Bachelor of Science degree, and as a major under the Bachelor of Science (Earth Science) named program.
Geology can also be studied as a combined degree: Science/Arts, Science/Commerce, Science/Economics, Science/Education, Science/Engineering, or Science/Law.
