The core of the program is based on the fundamental issues of earth sciences and includes topics in Astronomy, Cartography, Geomorphology, Geophysics, Geochemistry, Hydrology, Meteorology, Palaeontology, Paleoclimatology, Remote sensing, Stratigraphy, etc. while a strong regional geographical aspect is also present. The program includes a limited variety of human geographical courses too.

Pitt-Johnstown offers a bachelor of science degree in energy and earth resources with concentrations in energy resource geology and environmental geology. The University also offers a minor in geology and collaborates with the Education Division to offer a bachelor of science in secondary education – earth and space science.

Earth science is the study of how our planet evolved and the forces that have shaped, and continue to shape, the earth that we live on. In this specialist route available in our BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences (Q64), you’ll learn why volcanoes occur, what fossils indicate about past environments, how the oceans regulate climate and why sea-level changes. As well as gaining an understanding of earth sciences, you’ll develop analytical and problem-solving skills.

Prepare to teach earth science in high schools with coursework that includes chemistry, physics, biology, geology, and the marine sciences. Rider’s Earth Sciences program is designed primarily as a second major for students in the College of Education and Human Services to train aspiring educators to teach Earth science in high schools.

The Department of Earth, Environmental, and Geographical Sciences offers a Master of Science in Earth Sciences degree with opportunities for study and research in the areas of geology, hydrology, atmospheric science, surface processes, environmental science, remote sensing, and geospatial analysis. Graduate students have access to faculty with a broad range of expertise, as well as access to extensive field, laboratory, and computing facilities.

Within the master's programme in Earth Science you will study natural earth processes, climate change and the impact of human influences such as natural resources and environmental disruption. Impact on earth processes leads to substantial changes in the environment. You will develop awareness and in-depth knowledge of environmental changes over years to millennia in different types of environments.

University of Lodz Doctoral School of Exact and Natural Sciences provides support and guidance to those seeking a PhD in Exact and Natural Sciences seekers that prepare dissertations in the following disciplines: Mathematics, Biological Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Physical Sciences, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Informatics – starting from the academic year 2024/2025.

The Earth Sciences programme trains researchers to investigate diverse geoscience topics independently. It aims to produce skilled geologists capable of addressing challenges in resource management and Earth system modelling. The curriculum covers basic and applied research on Earth's structure, dynamics, and resources, with two specialized tracks: "Earth System: Processes and Modeling" and "Georesources." The program emphasizes practical skills, international collaboration, and hands-on research experiences.

A MSc in Earth Sciences can lead you down a wide range of professional paths in science, environmentalism, education, and much more. Study in the Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences: experience research-led teaching from renowned scientists, and enjoy life-changing, free field trips. Acquire invaluable skills and hands-on experience ahead of an exciting career without limitation. In the IGES, staff, students, and alumni have contributed through work on public engagement, water quality, soil ecology, geo-energy, and teaching on different MSc degree programs, to name just a few of our inputs. You'll join a close-knit, multicultural student community and benefit from small-group working and a close working relationship with renowned, world-leading teachers in their field.

The "Doctorate in Earth and Planetary Sciences" aims to offer young graduates the opportunity to pursue a third-level, internationally recognized program, connecting the best expertise of the University of Florence with that of some of Italy's leading Earth Sciences research institutions (the Institute of Geosciences and Earth Resources and the Institute for Electromagnetic Sensing of the Environment of the National Research Council, the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, etc.).

The Earth Science major provides a broad-based science education with a focus on Earth’s systems, including the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Students gain an understanding of the major features of each of these systems with foundational courses in Earth system science, environmental earth science, historical geology, and earth materials. Elective courses in the program include hydrogeology, structural field geology, geographic information systems, geochemistry, ecology, and field biology. Students can opt to participate in internships, and research projects, or serve as teaching assistants.

The most pressing problems of the 21st century include environmental degradation such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, soil degradation, and air pollution, and increasing resource scarcity urging for a more sustainable use of Earth’s resources. The BSc program Earth Sciences and Sustainable Management of Environmental Resources (ESSMER) is an interdisciplinary science major with a strong focus on phenomena and processes occurring at the Earth’s surface. Our students develop a holistic understanding of the system Earth, anthropogenic interaction with its land, atmosphere, oceans and biosphere, and management of environmental resources, including water, soils, biological and energy resources, and minerals. The ESSMER program is based on a solid foundation in science disciplines and uses key methodological tools and concepts from Earth Sciences and data management combined with the concepts of sustainability and resource management.

To promote advanced formation, multi and interdisciplinary in scientific areas related to PhD in Environmental, Marine and Earth Sciences. Development of skills and scientific training at the highest level, including scientific analysis, innovation, critical thinking, decision-making and independent research work

The Doctoral School of PhD in Earth Sciences offers a four-year training and research program in various fields of geography, geology, and meteorology. Students can choose from a wide selection of research topics from the three subprograms of Physical geography, geology, and meteorology; Human geography; Geopolitics, Geo-economics, and political geography. Outstanding students can obtain a Ph.D. degree after completing their studies and research activities. The program began in 1994 and since then more than 100 researchers have received their Ph.D. degrees and joined the alumni network of the Doctoral School.

The central theme of the Master in Environmental engineering: Earth Resources Engineering is the conscientious stewardship of our finite natural resources, namely minerals, fuels, energy, water, and land. Students taking ERE will attain a broad background in environmental engineering and earth resources covering water resources, pollution prevention, energy, resource economics, recycling, waste and bio-waste valorization, alternative and renewable raw materials, reclamation, and health.
