Geosciences: Earth, Ocean, and Climate Emphasis

About

Our planet is more than meets the eye. Explore the history of Earth's climate, global change, ocean science and modern climate dynamics. Students who select the Bachelor of Science in Geosciences with an Earth, Oceans and Climate emphasis are immersed in an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the planet. Students will develop an understanding of Earth's climate - past, present, and future - and the important connections between the solid Earth, oceans, and atmosphere, and how they influence modern climate dynamics. Explore this world-renowned field of study at the University of Arizona and discover the mysteries behind our planet.
