Hope GES StudentsWelcome! Geology is the study of the Earth and other planets, and therefore covers a wonderful variety of topics. Both geology and environmental science are different from the other sciences because they include the other sciences. Our planet is a large system influenced by physical, chemical and biological processes. To understand these, geologists need to be interdisciplinary scientists. Ask yourself these questions:

  1. Do you like working outdoors on lakes, mountains and sand dunes?
  2. Do you like laboratory analysis that is directly linked to water, rock, soil and air samples?
  3. Do you envision yourself solving environmental problems?
  4. Do you like to work with people from many different subject fields?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, geology and environmental science may be for you.
