Geology is the study of the Earth and includes aspects related to its formation, composition, structure and processes. South Africa is known for its large reserves of gold, platinum, chromium, vanadium and other metal ores, as well as substantial diamond and coal reserves. A mere hour’s drive from UP takes one to the Karoo coalfields, the site where the Cullinan diamond was discovered, the Bushveld platinum mines and the gold mines of the Witwatersrand. South Africa also has some of the Earth’s oldest well-exposed geology and significant fossils informing us about the history of the planet. UP is well situated within easy reach of the mining and applied geological industries and offers a strong program in the applied fields of economic geology, structural geology and mechanics, and engineering geology and hydrogeology. Candidates who successfully complete this program qualify for professional registration as geological scientists. The program requires an appreciation for mathematics and chemistry. A love for the Earth and working outdoors, and an interest in geology or geomorphology will be beneficial. Depending on your personality, you can decide how you would like to divide your time between working in the field and working in the office.

Meteorology is the study of atmospheric phenomena. This not only includes the physics, chemistry and dynamics of the atmosphere but is extended to include many of the direct effects of the atmosphere upon the earth’s surface, the oceans and life in general. Meteorologists aim to achieve complete understanding, accurate prediction and artificial control of atmospheric phenomena. Weather and climate are critical in people’s lives as they can affect many of our daily activities, such as agriculture, sports, travel and tourism. In the long term, they may even determine whether humankind survives or not. There is increasing concern that human activities may irreversibly change the earth’s weather and climate. Serious concerns are also expressed regarding the effects of air pollution. Meteorologists and atmospheric scientists are interested in understanding how the physics and dynamics of the atmosphere work.
