地质学家研究地球的历史，材料，过程和产品。有些只追求学术兴趣，例如山脉的形成和侵蚀，而另一些则对实际应用感兴趣，探索化石燃料和矿物或计划建筑工地和处置地点。一位地质学家研究环境影响。地质科学系提供理学学士学位，文学学士学位，理学硕士学位和博士学位，专门研究地质，地球物理学和环境科学。TU的课程为基础科学打下了坚实的基础，同时从事与能源有关的勘探，环境和资源领域。具有地质学选项的地球科学理学学士学位为学生准备从事地球物理特征（包括组成和结构）研究的职业做好了准备。环境科学选项是为打算在组织，公司和政府实体中
Geologists study the history, materials, processes and products of the Earth. Some pursue solely academic interests such as how mountains form and erode while others are interested in practical applications, exploring fossil fuels and minerals or planning construction sites and disposal locations. A geologist studies environmental impact. The Department of Geosciences offers bachelor of science, bachelor of arts, master of science and doctoral degrees with specialization in geology, geophysics and environmental science. TU's curriculum provides a sound foundation in the basic sciences while engaging in energy-related fields of exploration, environment and resources. The bachelor of science degree in geosciences with a geology option prepares students for careers in the study of Earth's physical characteristics including composition and structure. The environmental science option is designed for students who intend to work as geoscientists at organizations, corporations and government entities.
