Geology is the study of the earth, it's history and structure.
The complex processes of the interacting components.
Solid earth.
The oceans.
The atmosphere.
The glaciers.
We work to understand climate change by looking at conditions in the past.
We're interested in the evolution of life on Earth.
We work to understand the strength and stability of the Earth's surface for construction purposes.
We'll receive the best
undergraduate geology training possible.
Prepare you for a career in earth
science.
They go above and beyond to make sure that the students are getting the material.
Any kind of concerns, they get one on one.
It's a tight knight program.
It's a family.
It's such a small department that you can really get close to people and I think that makes the difference.
There's a field trip every semester so you're always out in the field doing something.
Field camp is one of the most amazing
things that you can do as a geologist.
That was basically us driving across the
country into New Mexico and
spending a few weeks there and in Colorado and mapping the area around us.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
When they see that spark in you they are all for trying

I've kind of thought of the idea of doing
planetary studies and eventually hoping to work with NASA.
I plan to be a geo technician.
I want to work in groundwater hydrology.
I want to teach earth and environmental science.
So if you enjoy the sciences and working outdoors. Geology is a great choice for a career.
Come to ECU and see what the Department of Geological Sciences can offer you.
