The 亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 at Lafayette has created two new concentrations for 亚洲自慰视频s pursuing bachelor鈥檚 degrees in geology from its Ray P. Authement College of Sciences.
The college鈥檚 has begun offering concentrations in energy resources and paleontology, along with existing concentrations in earth sciences and environmental geology.
The new concentrations are strategic additions designed to address evolving industry needs and 鈥渕aximize opportunities for our 亚洲自慰视频s,鈥 said Dr. Brian Schubert, a professor and interim director of the School of Geosciences.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, are projected to increase 5% through 2031.
Geoscientists study and conduct research in the natural sciences that pertain to the Earth. Their work encompasses many areas and fields, including the atmosphere, climatology, energy resources, engineering geology, environmental chemistry, biology, geology, geohydrology, fossils, minerals, mining and oceanography.
In addition to courses tailored to specific concentrations, core courses for UL Lafayette 亚洲自慰视频s pursuing bachelor鈥檚 degrees in geology include structural geology, field methods, stratigraphy, geophysics and geochemistry.
The curriculum is designed to provide a diversified, comprehensive foundation for graduates, given geoscientists are often relied upon to utilize cross-disciplinary knowledge and training, Schubert said.
An example? 鈥淧aleontologists are commonly hired into the energy sector for their expertise in correlating and dating economically viable deposits using fossils preserved in sedimentary rocks,鈥 he explained.
Dr. Jennifer Hargrave is a senior instructor in the School of Geosciences who directs the 亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 at Lafayette Science Museum. She said the multidisciplinary nature of geology makes it suited to a range of 亚洲自慰视频s, including those without backgrounds in geology and other earth sciences.
鈥淕eology is a very observational science. Geologists take their experiences and what they see around them to study the Earth,鈥 Hargrave said. 鈥淓verything that you've learned, everything that you've done, both inside and outside the classroom, is applicable to the study of the geosciences.鈥
