About the Program

Geosciences deals with processes that shape and change Earth on a variety of spatial and temporal scales. To enhance the understanding of these processes, geoscientists use methods such as examination and experimentation in the field and laboratory, big data analytics, and computer simulations. Geosciences play a central role in addressing vital questions of global significance, including the assessment of georisks and the impacts of future climate change. The results of these efforts will have consequences for physical, geochemical and ecological processes at the Earth's surface and the exploration, development and use of subsoil, the Earth's surface and natural resources (water, soil, energy resources, metal ores, rocks and earth). Addressing these issues requires the development of new materials and procedures, especially in the fields of energy efficiency and environmental protection. The program offers specializations in soil science, geology, and mineralogy/geochemistry.
