Program Details

Geology (B.Sc. Honours) School: University of Saskatchewan Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Science Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: Geology/Earth Science, General Description: Geology is the study of the Earth, from the highest mountains to the depths of the oceans. This program encompasses study of the atmosphere, the biosphere (plants, animals and soil), the hydrosphere (oceans, rivers, lakes and groundwater) and the closely interrelated processes that occur between these elements, both today and over the course of history. Geology also examines phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes, glaciers, mountains, shorelines, minerals and gems, and global climate change. Geology has traditionally been divided into physical geology and historical geology. Physical geology concentrates on the materials that compose the earth and the natural processes that take place within the earth to shape its surface. Historical geology focuses on earth history from its fiery beginnings to the present. Related areas of study include biology, chemistry, mathematics, physical geography and physics. Students interested in entering an Honours program should consult advisors in the department concerned before registering for their second year. Website: Geology (B.Sc.
