Geology examines Earth's physical composition and the natural processes that shape it. Environmental Geoscience focuses on analyzing the planet's geological and geographic makeup, along with the forces that transform our environment.
The University of Regina's geology and environmental geoscience programs address critical modern challenges, as societies demand growing amounts of mineral resources and energy while facing environmental constraints. Issues like climate change, dwindling resources, and pollution increasingly limit sustainable development and alter our habitats.
Environmental Geology explores Earth's fundamental characteristics, from plate tectonics to geological time. It investigates natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and surface events like floods and avalanches, assessing their effects on human settlements. The discipline also examines humanity's influence on the environment, including resource extraction, waste management, and pollution, all within a geological framework.
