Unique among the sciences, geology embraces a broad spectrum of scientific inquiry. Geologists systematically amass observation data and measurements to compile and organize the body of knowledge about Earth.
Specialized geological studies apply information and techniques from other sciences and engineering to solve problems of the physical environment. Examples of geological specialties include the following: paleontology, the study of prehistoric biology; mineralogy, the application of chemistry and physics to the mineral kingdom; petrology, the application of chemistry and physics to understanding the origin and history of rocks; engineering geology, the application of geological and engineering information to construction of roads, dams, tunnels, landslide stabilization, etc.; and hydrology, the study of surface and underground water supplies.
Basic Geology
Basic Geology is designed to provide fundamental knowledge and skills known to be useful for paraprofessional employment in the fields of geology and soils technology. This curriculum incorporates methods for recording field notes, sampling, gathering and organizing geologic information, geologic mapping and drafting geologic maps, locating and plotting information on topographic maps, constructing topographic profiles and geologic cross-sections, conducting basic tests in the field and laboratory, and geological problem solving.
