Award-winning faculty will guide you through basic concepts ranging from rocks, minerals, and fossils to plate tectonics and the dynamic processes that shape the Earth inside and out. Why and how do volcanoes erupt? Where do we look for oil and reliable water supplies? Why is our climate changing? The disciplines of earth science play a crucial role in answering questions, such as these, about our complex world. Studying earth sciences at Dalhousie will give you insight into the Earth's evolution, composition, processes, and future.
