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 geologic history is full of the beginning and the ends of species–of their first and last days; but it exhibits no genealogies of development.
Hugh Miller in:The testimony of the rocks , Gould and Lincoln, 1865, p. 220.
Geology
Geology may be defined to be that branch of natural history which investigates the successive changes that have taken place in the organic and inorganic kingdoms of nature. It is a science founded on exact observation and careful induction; it may termed the physical history of our globe; it investigates the structure of the planet on which we live and explains the character and causes of the various changes in the organic and inorganic kingdoms of nature.
William Humble in: Dictionary of geology and mineralogy: comprising such terms in botany., H. Washbourne, 1843, p. 104.
