Program Description Earth Science is the study of the history, structures, and processes that shape planet Earth. Earth Science involves a significant breadth of topics from planetary structure and composition, plate tectonics, earthquakes and volcanoes, natural resources, and the history of life on Earth. Although the profession focuses on opportunities to explore, extract, analyse, understand and monetize raw planetary materials, an equally important and rapidly evolving segment of an Earth Scientist’s career focuses on the protection of Earth and its most precious natural resources. What Students Will Learn The tectonic mechanisms that create earthquakes and volcanic eruptions The processes that occur within the planet, that shape its surface, and that control its atmosphere; The origin, occurrence, extraction and conservation of Earth's natural resources, including minerals, fossil fuels, soils, and water; The role of Earth within the Solar System, and the history of life on Earth. NOTE: Please note the English scores listed are minimum requirements. Meeting the minimums does not guarantee admission.
