Find out if Applied Geology is the right major for you!

1. Are you interested in understanding Earth materials and processes to solve practical problems (e.g., resource exploration, hazards)?

2. Do you enjoy fieldwork—collecting samples, observing outcrops, and working outdoors?

3. Are you comfortable using and learning tools like GIS, remote sensing, and geological mapping?

4. Do you enjoy analyzing data (e.g., core logs, geophysical readings, geochemical results) to draw conclusions?

5. Are you intrigued by environmental aspects like groundwater, contamination, and land-use impact?

6. Do you enjoy combining theoretical knowledge with practical techniques like sampling, lab analysis, and modeling?

7. Are you comfortable with or willing to learn mathematics and physics relevant to geology (e.g., stratigraphy, mechanics, fluid flow)?

8. Do you like solving complex, multi-factor problems where geology interacts with engineering, policy, or society?

9. Are you willing to keep updating your knowledge as geological methods, tools, and environmental standards evolve?

10. Do you want to apply geological knowledge to support infrastructure, resource management, or environmental protection?

Definitions and quotes

Geology
Geology (from the Ancient Greek γῆ, gē, i.e. "earth" and -λoγία, -logia, i.e. "study of, discourse") is an earth science concerned with the solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which they change over time. Geology can also refer to the study of the solid features of any terrestrial planet or natural satellite, (such as Mars or the Moon).
Geology
All that comes above the surface [of the globe] lies within the province of Geography; all that comes below that surface lies inside the realm of Geology. The surface of the earth is that which, so to speak, divides them and at the same time 'binds them together in indissoluble union.' We may, perhaps, put the case metaphorically. The relationships of the two are rather like that of man and wife. Geography, like a prudent woman, has followed the sage advice of Shakespeare and taken unto her 'an elder than herself; but she does not trespass on the domain of her consort, nor could she possibly maintain the respect of her children were she to flaunt before the world the assertion that she is 'a woman with a past.'

Geology
Geology is an exact science too. Many factors of geological phenomena can be measured and grouped in "correlation structures," aspects of which can be treated mathematically.

Geology
Measuring nuclear yield depends on multiple parameters - the location and number of instruments, the geology of the area, the location of the seismic station in relation to the test site.
