Ringkasan program

This program emphasizes knowledge and awareness of: the ways in which Earth responds to internal and external forces; the physical, chemical, and biological evolution of Earth; the nature of the materials of which Earth is made; and mineralogy and petrology of igneous, metamorphic, and/or sedimentary rocks; interactions of the solid Earth with the hydrosphere and atmosphere, and how these interactions affect mankind and the environment; the processes of sedimentation, the use of stratigraphy, paleobiology of marine environments, and the role of geophysics and tectonics in understanding the nature of Earth and its history; the roles of physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics in understanding geological processes; the history of discoveries and ideas that have contributed to our current awareness of the Earth and the planetary system; appropriate techniques for measuring and recording both past and present Earth processes; and the methods used in the field to map and interpret the diverse variety of rock types and structures. In addition, students completing the degree in geology are expected to acquire the ability and skills to: read and critically evaluate relevant geological literature; observe and measure, in the field and laboratory, physical, chemical, and biological aspects of rock successions and to develop models of Earth history; present geological information in both written and oral form; and use appropriate tools from mathematics, chemistry, physics, and biology, including computers, to solve geological problems.
