Geology Minor

Geology is the study of the Earth, Earth materials and the processes by which they form. A minor in Geology will enable you to read the clues in rocks and sediments to interpret past environments and the history of the Earth.

Geologists investigate local streams and soils in the backyard to volcanic eruptions in Hawaii and the uplift of the Himalayas. It also includes the history of life on Earth, which is closely intertwined with the history of the physical and chemical environment.
