课程
开始 with courses in introductory Earth science, chemistry, physics and mathematics. Subsequent core courses in geology prepare students to dive into divisional courses spanning four major areas within the field: solid Earth, 水科学, 古气候与古生物学.
- Explain process-based linkages among tectonics, climate 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 and analytical and/or numerical tools.
- Infer depositional processes and environments from field and lab observations of sedimentary systems.
- Describe tectonic processes and their manifestations in Earth’s crust, 包括地震活动, 火山作用与变形.
- Effectively synthesize published literature related to geological 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.
- Applications of GIS in 地球科学
- 全球变化:地质记录
- 地貌学
- 地球物理场法
- 沉积过程与体系
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, you can attend a lecture by a visiting scientist as part of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences’ lecture series. This will often provide insights into the kinds of research and developments that are at the cutting edge of geological research.
国外前沿:地球科学
花了 在新西兰留学一个学期 with either a geological and/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.
