Geologists study the history, materials, processes and products of the Earth. Some pursue solely academic interests such as how mountains form and erode while others are interested in practical applications, exploring fossil fuels and minerals or planning construction sites and disposal locations. A geologist studies environmental impact.
* The Department of Geosciences offers bachelor of science and bachelor of arts with specialization in geology, geophysics and environmental science.
TU’s curriculum provides a sound foundation in the basic sciences while engaging in energy-related fields of exploration, environment and resources.
