Earth Sciences (Optional Co-op)

Program Description

The Earth Sciences program at Carleton offers students the opportunity to study the Earth’s systems, incorporating knowledge from other sciences including physics, biology and chemistry. Students will learn about processes (such as evolution, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, plate tectonics and mountain building, formation of hydrocarbon reservoirs and mineral deposits) influential in the Earth’s geologic past that establish our present and future global development. The program offers the opportunity to participate in hands-on field courses that can take students to sites throughout Ontario, across Canada and around the world.
