WHAT IS A GEOSCIENTIST ?
Geoscientists interpret the natural world, bringing methods such
as geophysics, geomechanics geochemistry, geobiology and
field geology together to understand the ancient and modern
Earth
Clues concealed in rocks and minerals, fluids and fossils,
mountains and sediments, glaciers and volcanoes are
marshaled to explain and model the Earth System
at all scales
Discovery, development and sustainability of water, mineral
and energy resources as well as coping with climate change,
human impact and natural hazards facing increasing global
populations, all depend on a deep understanding
of natural processes
Our graduates study the Earth in this context, with careers in
diverse fields including research, mineral and oil exploration,
mining and hydrocarbon extraction, policy analysis, surface and
underground construction, environmental assessment,
protection and rehabilitation, groundwater investigation
and resource management
The programs offered by this department focus on the
whole planet and consider all global processes
within an integrated, dynamic system
Come and be a part of it!
