劳伦森大学

Enter into an adventurous career as a Professional Geoscientist exploring 4.5 billion years of Earth's history and scientific processes. Contribute to the discovery of raw materials that are in demand from a technology-driven society.

Discover various fields of Earth Sciences at the leading Canadian university in Economic Geology research and funding including: Geology, Geophysics, Economic Geology, Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Oceanography, Environmental Geoscience, Sedimentology, and Hydrogeology. Students with an interest in Earth Sciences and Environmental Sciences can enter into the Environmental Geoscience program to study environmental interactions between geology, biology, and hydrology.

Learn what makes volcanoes and earthquakes, how minerals and rocks form, how the earth and life evolved, what causes climate change. Understand the Earth’s evolution, including tectonics, biological evolution, and geochemical systems at the Harquail School of Earth Sciences.

Find a rewarding life-long career in practicing geology in mineral exploration, the mining industry, government, consulting agencies. Gain a strong foundation for further studies at the MSc and PhD levels to develop innovative contributions to Geoscience.

Career Opportunities

This four-year B.Sc. in Earth Sciences is designed to meet the minimum knowledge (academic) requirements for registration as a Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo.) with the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario (APGO). Registration with the APGO will significantly enhance career prospects of Earth Sciences students. Possible career avenues for our graduates include:

• Mineral exploration or mining geology
• Environmental geoscience or re-greening
• Volcanic and natural disasters monitoring
• Geological mapping (3D computer modeling and Geographical Information Systems GIS)
• Governmental geoscience or consulting
• Aggregates, determining suitable materials that can be used for roads and buildings
• Academia and research, for example climate change, history of life, structure of the earth, other planets, by using geophysics, geochemistry, structural geology, sedimentology, metamorphic or igneous petrology, mineralogy, hydrogeology
• Laboratory technology.
