专业概况

在这里学什么？ Geology is the science that permits us to understand the Earth's past and present, and strive to predict its future. It is a field-oriented science that is observational, theoretical, and applied. Geologists at USI are trained to investigate how and why mountains, glaciers, and other natural processes evolve. We deal with issues and problems of concern to society such as climate change, pollution, and earthquakes. Knowledge of geology is an essential component for making informed decisions about regulation, protection, and development of our natural environment. The geology program at USI is designed to develop observational, reasoning, and analytical skills that students can apply throughout life. It exposes students to the spectrum of earth materials, processes, and techniques related to the study of Earth. Curricular topics include rocks, minerals, and fossils, near-surface processes such as landslides, soil erosion, surface water, ground water, weather and climate, tectonic processes such as mountain building, earthquakes, and volcanism, and applied processes and techniques such as land use analysis and remediation, oil and gas exploration, oceanography, air photo interpretation, and geographic information systems. The practice of geology draws heavily upon knowledge gained from the study of chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics. Because of the broad training our graduates receive, they are well-prepared for careers both directly and indirectly related to geology. Some career options require a graduate degree, and USI geology faculty members encourage students to continue their education beyond the bachelor's degree.
