專業(yè)概況
在這里學什么?
Geology has undergone a revolution in the past decade, becoming an interdisciplinary science that emphasizes the study of major Earth systems - the solid Earth, the Earth’s surface, the hydrosphere, atmosphere and cryosphere (ice!), and the ancient and modern biosphere. Geology majors learn how these systems work and how they are connected. Geology majors integrate knowledge of Earth materials, the processes that have shaped them and the deep chronology of Earth history to understand global change through time.
Success
Geology provides many opportunities for travel and fieldwork. Students who enjoy hiking and camping and can learn by examining samples of minerals, rocks, fossils, soils and other geologic materials will be ready to succeed in geology. Map reading and the ability to visualize in three dimensions help enormously in "seeing" landscapes and the geometry of rock formations. Geology includes quantitative analysis of a variety of data, and ability in mathematics can be indispensable. Geology integrates aspects of chemistry, physics and biology. Students attracted to science in general will succeed.
Career
The Bachelor of Arts in geology is designed for undergraduates who wish to study geology as a foundation for careers in a variety of areas, such as environmental law, natural resource industry, land use planning, earth science education, science journalism and many government positions. There are positions for graduates with a BA in geology in environmental consulting, secondary education and other related fields. Graduates with a BA in geology are generally well prepared for graduate study, which is required for many professional positions although, as noted below, additional courses in math and associated sciences may be required in graduate school. The skills that geology majors learn in observation, data analysis, field mapping, surveying, computing and communicating make them well prepared for a wide variety of employment. Career possibilities include:
- Environmental engineer
- Environmental consultant
- Environmental Protection Agency employee
- Petroleum geologist
- Employee of state geological surveys
- Park naturalist
- Museum curator
- University professor
- Employee of the U.S. Geological Survey
- Book editor
- Computer analyst
- Public policy consultant
