The Geochemistry Minor is for science students (e.g. chemistry majors) with an interest in the chemical aspects of Earth science.

Are you interested in semester courses that cover the study of life and living organisms, life cycles, adaptations, and the environment? Our courses aim to prepare students with principles of oceanography, biological science and geography. The Department of Oceanography at UCT is the only one of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa and aims to advance the knowledge of all facets of the oceans around Africa and in the Southern Hemisphere. Our courses will encourage students to apply the principles and foundations of chemistry and other branches of science. Join the Semester Study Abroad Programme today! Choose from a variety of bachelor and master’s courses, across a wide range of disciplines for international credit transfer.

The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (E&ES) at Wesleyan University covers many aspects of the natural world, on Earth and on other planets. Our investigations range from active volcanoes to climate change and eco-conservation to the fate of water on Mars and the Moon. Our students perform cutting edge research in our own backyard and around the world. Our graduates enter jobs in Earth and environmental industries, the non-profit sector and academia.

The program includes a sequence of geology courses with additional courses in hydrology, meteorology, astronomy and biology that are required by New York State Education Department. The program has flexibility, making it possible for you to enter the geology consulting field instead of teaching. In addition, the earth science major leads to qualifying you for licensure as a professional geologist.

Faculty and students in the Department of Earth and Oceanographic Science (EOS) at Bowdoin investigate fundamental questions about our planet’s past, present, and future. In our courses and research programs, we sample rocks, sediments, shells and waters to reconstruct Earth’s geologic history, including past climates. We study Earth’s systems at all scales—atoms to oceans—and use state of the art instrumentation and data analysis to unravel Earth’s past so that we can better understand and prepare for our future.

In Earth Science, students learn how development affects water resources and pollution, how soils form and what makes them support the food we eat, about our changing oceans and climate, about environmental justice and geohazards in the Anthropocene, and about the history of our Earth, its climates, and the creatures that evolved here. In Geography, students learn how political, economic, cultural, and environmental forces shape spatial patterns and flows of activities, resources, people, and ideas in our world. We explore themes such as sustainable landscapes and communities, global political economic systems, cities and planetary urbanization, and the spatial underpinnings of social justice and human rights.

The Geology department seeks to give students a well-rounded Earth science education that balances fundamental knowledge of geology with broadly applicable problem-solving and communication skills. The integrated science of geology combines biology, chemistry, and physics as they apply to the workings of Earth and other planets. Well-trained geoscientists are increasingly in demand to address the environmental challenges and natural resource limitations of the modern world. A central tenet for understanding and predicting Earth processes and environmental change is the ability to decipher past Earth history from geologic records.

The integrated science of geology combines biology, chemistry and physics as they apply to the workings of Earth and other planets. Well-trained geoscientists are increasingly in demand to address the environmental challenges and natural resource limitations of the modern world. A central tenet for understanding and predicting Earth processes and environmental change is the ability to decipher past Earth history from geologic records. Thus, the major in Geology includes study of the physics and chemistry of Earth materials and processes; the history of the Earth and its organisms; and the range of techniques used to investigate the past and present workings of the Earth system.

The Geological and Planetary Science (GPS) major is designed to provide its students with a thorough training in the geological and planetary sciences and, whenever possible, to integrate these studies with the core curriculum courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology that all students take during their first years at Caltech. Students may elect to pursue a specialization track under the GPS major, which include geology, geobiology, geochemistry, geophysics, and planetary science.

The Solar System and Beyond is a fun and informative course for those fascinated by our solar system's mysteries. The course will feature an exploration of Earth, the solar system, stars, and galaxies.

Geoscientists explore for natural resources, like metal ores, industrial minerals and fossil fuels. They map and monitor changes in nature, from landscapes and climate to the Earth system as a whole.

As a geology major or minor, you will study the Earth’s processes in classrooms, labs and in the field. The department offers five major tracks: General Geology; Environmental Earth Science; Earth, Planetary and Space Science; Geochemistry; and Public Policy Our location is perfect for field exploration and research with trips to spectacular settings ranging from the Mojave Desert and remote Utah to our nearby mountains and desert.

The degree course in "Geological Sciences and Technologies for the Environment" (class L-34 Geological Sciences) has the aim to train a professional figure who operates in geological and geo-environmental analysis, in procurement and in sustainable management of geo-resources, in the study and protection of the sea and the territory with a view to sustainability environment and the protection of geodiversity, as well as in the reduction of risks deriving from natural hazards and from improper use of natural resources (prevention).

Gain an understanding of geological features and processes that shape our Earth through Geology and Environmental Geosciences. As a geoscientist, you will study the relationship between Earth’s systems in the classroom, in the lab, and in DePauw's renowned Nature Park. Seek substantive solutions to real-world problems such as dwindling natural resources, contamination of air, water and soil, and the effects of global climate change.

In Geobiology we ask questions that span the range of geologic time, from the emergence and evolution of life on the earliest Earth to its occurrence in weird and wonderful extreme environments to its role in shaping modern biogeochemical cycles. These studies often blur the boundaries between geology, geochemistry, environmental science, microbiology, and molecular genetics. We offer both an undergraduate major and a graduate Ph.D. program. Our students and postdocs go on to do academic research in a variety of biological and Earth science fields, and to work in a variety of industries from pharmaceuticals to genetics to medicine.
