Welcome to Earth Sciences
If you love Science, consider Earth Science!
Whether you investigate the formation of economic mineral deposits, the impacts of drought on the environment, or the sources of catastrophic earthquakes, you will use a strong and broad science foundation. Our multidisciplinary programs, emphasizing Environmental Geoscience and Geology, will give you the knowledge and professional skills to tackle any number of critically important issues.
Our faculty and students use a wide range of cutting edge tools and knowledge to conduct exciting fundamental and applied research across a range of disciplines in order to address questions that affect us all.

Become a Professional Geoscientist
Our undergraduate program offers two streams (Environmental Geoscience and Geology) which will allow you to seek Professional registration with Engineers & Geoscientists British Columbia. As a Professional Geoscientist (P. Geo), you can seek rewarding and well paying careers in a wide range of areas including, but not limited to, environmental consulting, the resource sector, and government.
From Microns to Mountains
The Earth formed almost 4.6 billion years ago by processes that occur on time scales of millions of years to fractions of a second. Whether looking at tiny crystals under a microscope, developing 3D numerical models, or climbing up high to study glacier-capped mountains, Earth scientists investigate the processes (in time and space) that form the Earth on which we live.
