RT @DePauwRockDoc: Check out our Petrology Research Forum presentations. Students completed course-based research projects this semester in GEOS 320 (Petrology). Students explored rocks from Iceland, Missouri, California, and right here at DePauw. @CURgeosciences @DePauwU @DrLoriDePauwU @AWG_org https://t.co/YcrImytox3

Not Your Ordinary Classrooms... Not Your Ordinary Majors...
WHAT do Geoscientists do?
Geoscientists study the Earth, including the materials that compose it, the processes that continuously change it, and its evolution over time. Geoscientists address increasingly challenging problems that confront a growing human population: climate change, dwindling natural resources, earthquake prediction and natural hazard identification, human environmental impact, and safe disposal of toxic and radioactive waste materials. Because these studies involve investigations of relationships between Earth’s systems, the geosciences are inherently interdisciplinary and include aspects of chemistry, biology and physics.
What MAJORS & MINORS do we offer?
Geology, Environmental Geoscience, Earth Science, and Geography (minor only).
The Environmental Geoscience major & minor utilize environmental courses from many other disciplines across campus to provide an environmental concentration in the areas of Environmental Science and Environmental Studies. Read more...

What kind of community are we?
In the Department of Geosciences at DePauw University, we believe that it is an opportunity and a privilege to learn from, serve, and interact with diverse individuals from all backgrounds. As such, we welcome all identities, including, but not limited to ethnicity, race, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, geographic origin, socioeconomic background, veteran status, and abilities.

RT @DePauwRockDoc: Geology is for everyone! So, take some "time" and stroll through @DePauw's GeoWalk (Geologic time at three inches per million yrs). This Art Walk features the amazing art of Hannah Buchanan ('22). Sponsored by @DePauwGeo and DePauw GeoClub. @DrLoriDePauwU (1/6) https://t.co/uK8EupwmRv
