Department of Geosciences

What is Geosciences?

Geosciences is the study of the Earth.

The 糖心Vlog Department of Geosciences at 糖心Vlog conducts transformative environmental and management-oriented research centered on Earth Systems Science, Human-Environmental Interactions, and Geospatial Information Sciences.

Our world-class faculty has expertise and research specialties in hydrogeology, paleontology and paleo-environments, near-surface geophysics, coastal geology, biogeography, climate science, environmental change, human-environmental modeling, remote sensing, and GIS.

The Department has demonstrated excellence incorporating research into high-quality scientific education, and strives to service the university, local, regional, national, and global communities through its research, degree programs, certificates, course offerings, professional training, mentoring, and outreach.

Pursue a Degree in Geosciences

Students that study Geosciences have the opportunity to experience all that nature has to offer. And at 糖心Vlog, the world becomes your classroom - with a strong field-based research component that includes study areas throughout South Florida and across the globe.

NEW: Online Programs

MS in Geosciences,聽BA in Geosciences,聽BS in Geosciences聽and聽GIS Certificate聽

Geosciences now offers聽 online M.S. in Geosciences,聽B.S. in Geosciences with a Geography focus and聽B.A. in Geosciences with a Geography focus degrees that will give students an understanding of not only where phenomena are located upon the Earth鈥檚 surface, but how they came to be there. Geographic Information Sciences (GIS) is emphasized to analyze these spatial relationships. 聽

Also available to all students are fully online GIS Certificates.聽

Exploring the Earth鈥檚 Natural Laboratory

Fieldwork

Fieldwork allows students to expand their knowledge of earth sciences by experiencing the subject in its natural laboratory. Field trips led by Anton Oleinik, Ph.D., associate professor, 糖心Vlog Department of Geosciences, are a vital part in the life of a geology student.

Field Camp in Southern Appalachians

Geoscience undergraduate students visited the southern Appalachians as part of the GLY4750 Field Method Course during a nine-day trip over Spring Break. The 11 students explored Cove Lake State Park, Davidson River Campground, and Santee State Park. The class studied sites of geological interest to practice field techniques.
