Environmental geologists address problems affecting the earth, including water supply and contamination, groundwater remediation, pollutant transport through the hydrosphere, atmosphere and lithosphere, and global warming. Our undergraduates are well prepared for jobs with environmental consulting firms, environmental research laboratories, regulatory agencies, or for graduate school. In addition to the general requirements for a geology B.S. major, undergraduates concentrating in Environmental Geology must take:
plus two upper level geology courses (GEOL323 or higher) of the students choice. Courses of interest to Environmental Geology students include (but are not limited to!...) Students are also encouraged to explore courses offered by the interdisciplinary Environmental Studies Program. Please see the University Bulletin for complete course descriptions. Independent research projects are encouraged. The Campus Watershed Project was funded by the National Science Foundation. Hydrological and environmental monitoring equipment have been installed throughout the watershed. Students are currently using the equipment for classes and independent research projects related to examination of the hydrology, geology, and geochemistry of the watershed. |
