Focus Areas
.
of the program
Basic Sciences
A combination of undergraduate-level hard-core courses in Geology, Maths, Physics, and Chemistry, along with optional courses from other sciences. The study areas of Geology include a basic understanding of the Earth and its dynamics, landforms and geomorphology, minerals and their crystal structure, rock types, and the structure of rocks. Study of minerals and rocks in the laboratory and field.
Petrology
Understanding igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary processes and their investigation using petrographic, geochemical, and geophysical tools
Evolution of the Earth life through time
Micropaleontology, Palaeontology, Stratigraphy: They have a tangible connection to life, landscapes, and climates of the past, and help understanding how life, landscapes, and climate have changed over time and how living things responded to those changes, in addition to their application in an exploration of mineral and fossil fuel resources.
Applied Aspects: Economic geology, exploration of earth resources, Remote Sensing & GIS, Hydrogeology
Characteristics and processes of formation of mineral and petroleum deposits. Geological and geophysical methods of mineral and petroleum exploration. Landform study, Lithological mapping, and mineral exploration using Remote sensing and GIS. Groundwater study.
