在这里学什么？

The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (formerly the Department of Geology) draws on chemistry, physics and biology to give students an understanding of our planet, its varied environments and its 4.5-billion-year history. Students learn to observe, record and interpret data pertinent to geological materials, including minerals, rocks, fossils, soils, water and energy resources, and to geological processes that alter our natural physical environment--climate change, coastal erosion, mountain building and the migration of continents, among others. Geologists use this information to predict such trends as global warming; to forecast and attempt to mitigate natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions; to explore for energy and mineral resources; to assess air, water and soil quality; and to aid in the remediation of contaminated environments. The department offers a bachelor of science and a bachelor of arts in earth and environmental science as well as a minor in earth and environmental science. Our undergraduate courses and programs explore the global system and emphasize the geology of the New York City region. We integrate the city as an extension of the laboratory in our curriculum through partnerships with the city's parks, museums, and community educational organizations. Students in the earth science teacher program learn to utilize the city's resources in their middle and high school classrooms, and are introduced to all content areas defined by the New York State standards for earth science. They are thereby prepared for successful completion of the Content Specialty Examination in Earth Science, required for New York State licensure for teacher of earth science. Students who major in earth and environmental science and maintain high academic standing may apply for honors through independent research under the mentorship of a departmental faculty member. Honors students present the results of their research in a professional meeting or college seminar series. Research may involve field-based studies, lab-based studies in such areas as geochemistry or geophysics, examination of specimens in curate collections, or computational analysis of geological data sets.
