Geology and Environmental Geoscience

Geology and Environmental Geoscience

Gain an understanding of geological features and processes that shape our Earth through Geology and Environmental Geosciences.

As a geoscientist, you will study the relationship between Earth’s systems in the classroom, in the lab, and in DePauw's renowned Nature Park. Seek substantive solutions to real-world problems such as dwindling natural resources, contamination of air, water and soil, and the effects of global climate change.
