Why and how do volcanoes erupt? Where do we look for oil and reliable water supplies? Why is our climate is changing? The disciplines of earth science play a crucial role in answering questions, such as these, about our complex world. Studying earth sciences at Dalhousie will give you insight into the Earth's evolution, composition, processes and future.

Studying earth sciences at Dalhousie starts with learning the basics. You’ll explore how geological structures were formed and how changes are happening deep within the geosphere- the solid part of the Earth.

In weekly labs you’ll experience geological research and learn how to identify different types of rock by examining samples under high-powered microscopes. In addition to the geosciences, you’ll also learn about the atmosphere, hydrosphere, our oceans and the biosphere.

Field work is also an important part of Dalhousie’s earth sciences program. You'll get a chance to explore the fascinating and diverse geology of Nova Scotia. Our experiential learning opportunities will set you up for career success. You could take part in our Advanced Field School and study abroad in countries such as Italy, Chile or England. The upper-level Petroleum Field Program course might take you to Trinidad to study active petroleum systems. Students are also encouraged to participate in our co-op education program.
