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.
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 和 environmental 地质.
的 general 地质 major gives students a holistic underst和ing of earth, rocks 和 the evolution of the earth.
的 specialization in environmental 地质 focuses primarily on 地质 as it relates to hydrology, natural disasters 和 natural resources.
你知道吗？? A 小 in 地质 also is available! This program covers the foundations of historical 地质, mineralogy 和 general chemistry, 地质 和 earth science.
