Introduction

The Department of Earth and Space Science and Engineering offers interdisciplinary instruction in applied science areas dealing with the solid Earth and the atmosphere. Several distinct streams of instruction are offered. In the Earth Science Stream, students obtain a strong background in the physics and chemistry of the solid Earth and the techniques of mineral and petroleum exploration. It is important for the earth science student planning a career in exploration to gain practical experience working in the area during summer periods prior to graduation. In the Atmospheric Science Stream, students obtain solid grounding in the physics, chemistry and dynamics of the atmosphere.The department offers a Specialized Honours degree Stream in Space Science, developed to meet the needs of rapidly-expanding technologies in these fields.The department also offers certificates in Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing and in Meteorology.
