About Bachelor of Geoscience: Geography and Geoscience

What is Geoscience?

Geoscience is a multi-disciplinary course designed by leading research scientists in response to critical challenges facing the earth system in the 21st century. It combines the study of geology, geography, chemistry, physics and biology, to develop a complete understanding of how the Earth works. Geoscientists analyse the changing climate, predict earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, find supplies of energy and raw materials, maintain clean air and water, measure the motion of the earth’s crust and oceans, and reconstruct the evolution of rocky planets and life.
