English
The Geosciences help us to understand our dynamic and fascinating planet, and how people interact with the forces of nature. Our major is wide-ranging, looking at how the Earth itself is structured, how life has developed and evolved through geologic time, how our climate, ocean, and atmospheric systems work, and how humans have impacted these complex planetary systems. In this era of global change, geoscience provides the knowledge and tools that can help us understand how and why our planet is changing, how we can live sustainably with our environment, and can help us to appreciate our place within the vastness of Earth history.
