Students completing the environmental geoscience minor will develop skills and training that will enhance their opportunities to pursue graduate work in environmental science, or to pursue employment within environmental consulting and management, environmental science, and environmental policy development.
Environmental Geoscience Minor
Environmental Geoscience Minor
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.
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.
