地质

Program(s) Available: B.A., B.S.,小

It may be a small world, but it's certainly not a simple one! 的 地质 program explores the complex structures that make up the world, including rocks 和 minerals, the surface process that shapes the Earth 和 tectonic forces that have occurred in the scale of geologic time.

为什么学习 地质 at Northwest

Many schools offer 地质 programs, but at Northwest, we take h和s-on learning to a new level!

Recently, 14 Northwest students 和 four faculty members took a two-week summer field trip to the United States' western region. 的 group visited six national parks 和 monuments, including Yellowstone National Park 和 the Old Faithful Geyser Basin as well as Crater Lake National Park 和 Lassen Volcanic National Park. While the field trip draws students from varied majors 和 academic interests, the opportunity to visit national parks 和 monuments allows participants to see significant areas that are set aside 和 preserved for future generations.

In addition to traveling the country, 地质 students have access to high-quality equipment. Garrett-Strong Science Building offers 26 labs where students gain profession-based experience on campus.

Our 地质 program focuses on three core areas: 古生物学, the study of fossils, the evolution of life 和 ancient environments; 沉积学, the study of sedimentary rocks 和 the environments 和 process through which they develop; 和 地层学, the study of a rock unit’s relationship to space 和 time.

This major has two specializations: general 地质environmental 地质.
