Program Details

Applied and Environmental Geology School: University of Calgary Faculty: Science Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: Geology/Earth Science, General Description: Applied and environmental geologists are interested in how the earth works, and concerned with geologic processes and issues directly affecting people such as landslides and other geologic instabilities. They can also be involved in water-resource exploration. These geologists deal with human impacts on the geologic environment, which include global warming, construction projects, and ground/surface water contamination. Because so much human activity occurs at or near the earth’s surface, applied and environmental geology tends to deal more with the near surface than other geologic disciplines. The University of Calgary’s Applied and Environmental Geology program focuses on three sub-disciplines: Hydrology, Engineering Geology, and Environmental Geophysics. The Faculty of Science offers programs of study leading to either the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) or the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree.
