Description

Geologists study the history, composition, and physical aspects of our planet and ask questions such as: What are the processes (physical, chemical, biological) that occur in the various layers of the earth? How and when did the Rocky Mountains form? Where can we find useful resources such as water, hydrocarbons, and metals?



The entire world will be your laboratory, as geology is the most outdoor-oriented scientific discipline. During the course of your studies, much of your learning will occur in class, during tutorials and in laboratories. You may also gain hands-on experience conducting research at field schools in both Canada and the United States.
