Descrizione del programma

Have you ever wondered why and how natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes, drought, floods, landslides or tsunamis, occur? Or how humanity deals with the aftermath of such a phenomenon? Have you ever wondered about the sustainability of the human race as populations continue to increase amid decreasing natural resources? With natural resources dwindling and human populations increasing, the field of geoscience has increased focus on mineral resource exploration and extraction. Utica and Marcellus Shale reserves, oil shale, and safe and effective deepwater drilling have recently dominated the media. The environmental geoscience degree program (and also the geology degree program) creates graduates who are well trained to enter such workplace environments. Graduates also are adept at the preservation of ecosystems and the environment. This program is offered only at the Clarion campus.
