Program Overview
The study of environmental geosciences provides the opportunity to gain a broad overview of the geological aspects of environmental science, particularly surface processes such as rivers and mass wasting, surface and groundwater resources and analysis, geochemical processes, pollution and sustainability issues. Students are offered a range of electives so that they can customize their coursework to optimize learning about specific aspects of environmental geoscience. This minor can greatly benefit students planning to pursue careers in environmental science, remediation, and policy because students gain experience with groundwater and surface water processes that are critical habitats for life and critical resources for human populations and sustainability initiatives.
