CURIOUS
about how the EARTH WORKS?

The Earth is a dynamic, integrated system that includes rocks and minerals, water, the atmosphere, and living organisms. The Department of Geological Sciences is dedicated to advancing our understanding of how the Earth works and how geological processes have operated over deep geologic to human timescales to create the planet’s surface environments. Students learn about the planet, the processes that modify the landscape over time, the history of life on the planet, and the interaction between the Earth system and human society.
