Bachelor of Science in Earth Sciences

Earth Sciences is the natural science that studies Earth, the interior make-up, and superficial features, its formative and destructive pro­cesses, its age, history and development through time. Geologists are concerned with a diverse range of issues such as the origin, migration and quality of groundwater, river and coastal erosion, desert-dune migration, the origin and evolution of oceans and continents, of mountain ranges, valleys and canyons. Studies concerning the causes and effects of natural hazards, such as those created by land and rockslides, earthquakes, floods and droughts, and volcanic eruptions all fall within the realm of Geology.
