| What it is | Environmental Geoscience is a program that combines the study of Earth's physical systems — rocks, minerals, water, atmosphere — with environmental problem-solving. It differs from pure geology by focusing specifically on how natural processes interact with human activities and environmental challenges. This program suits students interested in understanding natural systems and applying that knowledge to issues like contamination, resource management, and climate impacts. | You study how the natural world works alongside the human systems that affect it. The BES focuses on environmental policy, conservation, and sustainability through social and geographic lenses, while the BSc emphasizes the physical science side: geology, ecology, and environmental processes. Both paths suit people interested in solving real environmental problems through either policy and community work or scientific research and analysis. | You study how human activity shapes the natural world and how landscapes, climate, and ecosystems affect people and cities. The program offers multiple routes depending on your interests: a general arts degree, a combined arts and sciences track, an engineering focus for environmental systems, or a specialized environmental studies degree. It suits students curious about climate change, resource management, urban planning, or environmental policy who want both scientific and human perspectives. |
