GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES AT BROWN UNIVERSITY
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM

What is Geology? It is a science that is still young enough to have exciting, unanswered quesitons, but mature enough to make use of all the sophistication and rigor that one can bring to bear!


Field observations and field trips play an important part of the undergraduate experience. These can occur during classroom
time or labs, and are enhanced greatly through
departmental or Geo Club field trips.

The Department makes every effort to create the best
opportunities for interested undergrads to experience
hands-on lab time. Whether it is used for research papers,
or to assist a faculty member with grant-funded research
students are encouraged to take advantage of
these unique opportunities.

Theoretical modelling is another powerful tool students
and faculty alike use to analyse geological materials to
make predictions or extrapolate theories about
past geologic events.
