课程
The major’s foundation includes courses in chemistry, biology and math; core courses in environmental geosciences, plus skill-based courses in field methods and data analysis. 后续, upper-level courses span three major areas within the field: environmental data analysis, surface processes and 气候 and energy.
- Explain process-based linkages connecting lithosphere, 气候, water and life as illustrated by the Earth system over time.
- Analyze and interpret general patterns in the history of the Earth-life system using geological records.
- Describe local and global patterns of 气候 change and understand both spatial and temporal drivers of the 气候 system.
- Infer Earth surface processes and environments and characterize ecosystem properties from field, lab and data-driven observations of sedimentary systems.
- 使用分析, remote sensing and/or numerical tools to characterize hydrologic systems in the surface and/or subsurface.
- Effectively synthesize published literature related to Earth and environmental sciences in a written report and/or a data product.
- Develop written and verbal communication skills required to effectively convey science to a wide range of audiences.
- 地球和生命的历史
- 环境水地球化学
- 地球能源科学
- 水文地质
- 地理信息系统在地球科学中的应用
课外的机会
英雄地质实验室
校园专用空间, including the 英雄地质实验室, offer state-of-the art laboratory and computing facilities that allow for sophisticated analytical and numerical study of Earth systems.
K.D. 尼尔森系列讲座
几乎每周都有, attend a lecture by a visiting scientist as part of the Department of Earth and 环境 Sciences’ lecture series. This will often provide insights into the kinds of research and developments that are at the cutting edge of environmental geoscience.
国外前沿:地球科学
花了 在新西兰留学一个学期 with either a geological or environmental focus. Participate in a five- to six-week field camp and take four courses at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, 新西兰. One of those courses will be a research methods course, using data collected during your field experience.
