Geology examines the composition, formations, and evolution of Earth's crust and surrounding fluid layers. This interdisciplinary science incorporates principles from mathematics, chemistry, physics, and biology to analyze relationships between the lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Geological research typically integrates field observations with laboratory experiments and computer modeling. The field contributes significantly to resource management, construction safety assessments, hazard mitigation, mining operations, understanding Earth's systems, and evaluating environmental impacts from both natural processes and human activities.

Graduate-level geology research usually involves fieldwork. Students must complete a 9-credit field course or demonstrate equivalent experience before qualifying for graduate degree candidacy. No foreign language proficiency is necessary.
