Geology and Meteorology are the fields in this concentration. Students gain knowledge to relate the Earth's dynamic processes to its composition, structure, and surface features. Geologists are involved in a wide range of activities, including studies of Earth materials and processes, exploration for resources, and understanding and protecting the environment. Meteorology draws upon many sources for its material because of its attempts to describe processes and changes in the atmosphere. Some of the major fields of investigation include structure of the atmosphere, temperature-pressure-density relationships, heat transfer, moisture and precipitation processes, cloud dynamics, and severe weather processes.
