( ieolog) is a far-ranging science and encompasses various aspects of the
Earth system In addition to the solid tarth. this system includes the oceans
and atmosphere, climate change, and most aspects of our immediate
environment Professional geologists arc thus engaged in a wide range of
activities, depending on their interests. Scientific questions addressed by



INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNsy I \ \\I.\ I NDI RGRADl ATI CATALOG :o(W-20IO



Page 135



geologists include the evolution of life, the origin of volcanic activity, the
assessment of volcanic and earthquake hazards, the evolution of our
planetary neighbors, climate change, and perhaps most importantly, the
human impact on our environment.

I he department offers a B.S. degree with a major in Geology that is divided
into two tracks: Geology ami Environmental. Either track gives students
the necessary foundation to pursue a wide variety of career goals In addi-
tion, education degrees are offered foi students who are interested in teach-
ing. The degrees and courses in the program emphasize hands-on learning,
including outdoor instruction and student-oriented research and professional
experiential learning opportunities In addition to on-campus instruction
and class-related field trips, the department also oilers several regional
geology Field Workshops, which take place in Newfoundland, the Northern
Rockies region. Florida and the Bahamas, and the American Southwest.

The B.S. degree with a major in Ueolog> Geology Track is designed for
students who are interested in pursuing any of the various suhdisciplines in
geology, including oceanography marine geology, climate change, voleanol-
ogy. paleontology, meteorology, and geophysics. There also is considerable
overlap between geology and astronomy, as geologists study the evolution
of other planetary bodies, such as the Moon. Mars, and Venus; the curricu-
lum reflects this link and provides the groundwork for planetary studies.
The Geology Track thus provides students with the foundation needed to
pursue a wide variety of career goals, including research (and postgraduate
studies), teaching, or careers as professional geologists working with private
businesses, environmental firms, or as consultants for federal and state
agencies.

The B.S. degree with a major in Geology En\ ironmental Track is designed
for students who wish to pursue careers in the rapidly expanding environ-
mental field. While our planet has evolved over a 4.5 billion-year history,
our presence has had a significant impact upon our surroundings, in spite of
our brief time of residence. Geologists play a key role in dealing with
environmental issues, and the Environmental Track prepares students to
solve en\ ironmental problems. Graduates from this track will be prepared
for direct entry into jobs with federal or state agencies and private
em ironmental consulting firms, as well as postgraduate studies.

The B.S. in Education degree with a major in Earth and Space Science
prepares students to become certified teachers in Pennsylvania and other
states. Earth and Space Science teachers in middle and high school grades
teach subjects that require a broad and solid foundation in science Course-
work includes study of geology, meteorology, oceanography, and astron-
om) A basic understanding of the cognate sciences, biology, chemistry.
physics, and mathematics is also an essential part of the major. Courses in
pedagogy, including the teaching of English language learners and students
with special needs, complement the subject matter studies. Students create
and present lessons, first in Geoscience courses and then in school class-
rooms, culminating in the student teaching experience in the last semester

The Minor in Geology is designed for students w ho desire a background in
Geology, in conjunction with degrees in business or one of the social or
physical sciences
