Applied Geology and Geophysics Double Degree
Geology is critical to the global economy. Geologists play a central role in the search for and the extraction of minerals, petroleum and groundwater, and environment management. You’ll develop introductory geology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, statistics and communication and computer skills. You’ll explore the fundamental skills of applied geology, such as mineral and petroleum exploration, hydrogeology, environmental geochemistry and engineering geology. You’ll develop fundamental skills with a detailed knowledge needed to understand geological processes and materials.
Geophysics seeks to understand the Earth’s interior, an increasing area of importance, particularly in Australia. In this double degree, you’ll develop a thorough foundation of knowledge in areas of physics and mathematics, geology, electronic measurement, experiment and survey design and scientific computing or data processing. The geophysics component has a strong emphasis on understanding physical properties of matter, transmission and dissipation of energy. You’ll develop a detailed knowledge of the techniques of analysing and imaging the Earth and explore geophysical methods such as seismic, magnetics, gravity, electrical and electromagnetic methods.
