Department of Geology

Earth science education is an integral component of science education. Geology is a branch of earth science that involves the study of minerals, rocks, the Earth’s structure, landforms, and the processes that affect them. Deciphering records from Earth’s past provides the context for comprehending present earth processes Investigating historical records, as well as human engagement with present earth processes and resources, is crucial to humanity’s and the planet’s well-being.
Applied geology is concerned with the application of the aforementioned disciplines to economics, engineering, water resource management, environmental issues, climate change, and geology as they relate to human activities.

The Department of Geology under the School of Environmental Sciences, offering MSc Applied geology is designed to

• Provide knowledge of advanced branches of Geology at post graduate level
