Geology
Geology is an exciting, interdisciplinary science dedicated to understanding the formation and
evolution of our planet and the other bodies in the solar system. Geologists probe the deep past to
see as clearly as possible how life has evolved, how the continents have shifted, and how climates
have changed. They apply the tools of chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics in doing so,
and examine problems that range from microscopic to interplanetary in scale using a variety of
approaches including fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and computational modeling. In addition to
guiding the stewardship of mineral and energy resources vital to society, geologists increasingly
strive to reduce the impact geological hazards (e.g., earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides) have
on people and to reduce the adverse effect people have upon the natural environment (e.g., soil
erosion, polluted groundwater). An understanding of at least rudimentary geology is essential
for solving many environmental problems. Geology students typically have a wide variety of
employment options, as their education prepares them for a diverse array of professional activities.
