Course Summary

Research in the School covers a broad spectrum of geoscience topics with a seamless transition between pure and applied research and an increasing emphasis on multidisciplinary projects. We continue to value field-based research and also work extensively with subsurface datasets. The School is equipped with world-class analytical facilities for geochemical and radiogenic isotopic analysis as well as a wide range of software, some of it developed in-house, for geovisualisation, subsurface interpretation, geomodelling, and remote sensing

The Student

Career Interests

This course is typically suited for people with the following Career Interests. If these interests do not describe you, this course may prepare you for work you may not find satisfying.

Investigative

The Investigative person will usually find a particular area of science to be of interest. They are inclined toward intellectual and analytical activities and enjoy observation and theory. They may prefer thought to action, and enjoy the challenge of solving problems with sophiscticated technology. These types prefer mentally stimulating environments and often pay close attention to developments in their chosen field.


Naturalist

Not surprisingly, some aspect of the natural sciences will run through the Naturalist's interests - from ecological awareness to nutrition and health. People with an interest in horticulture, land usage and farming (including fish) are Naturalists.

Some Naturalists focus on animals rather than plants, and may enjoy working with, training, caring for, or simply herding them. Other Naturalists will prefer working with the end result of nature's produce - the food produced from plants and animals. Naturalists like solving problems with solutions that show some sensitivity to the environmental impact of what they do. They like to see practical results and prefer action to talking and discussing.
