Earth science is the science that studies the physical and chemical composition of the earth and atmosphere. It is a basic major with strong application and belongs to the branch of planetary science. Earth science is a big topic that radiates to almost every other field of natural science. It covers four basic areas of study: geology, meteorology, oceanography and astronomy, each of which is further subdivided into more specialized areas.
American earth science major is an unpopular major. Earth science majors in prestigious American universities focus on social needs and are supplemented by scientific development. They propose macro-level academic ideas on the basis of breaking disciplinary boundaries and highly integrating the overall research object of earth science, such as the construction of intersecting or fringe fields such as earth system science and geoengineering.
Application requirements
Applicants are required to have a solid background in natural sciences, master basic theories and basic knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., understand the general principles and methods of similar majors such as resource environment and urban and rural planning management, and geographic information systems, and understand the theoretical frontiers, application prospects and latest development trends of geographical science. For environmental studies majors, some colleges require applicants to have taken advanced organic chemistry courses in college. The Solid Earth project prefers students majoring in mathematics and having expertise in partial differential equations.
course setting
physical geography , modern geomorphology , environmental evolution, economic geography, human geography, metrological geography, survey cartography, geographical information system, regional geography , structural geology, paleoclimatology, sedimentology, Quaternary Geology and isotope geochemistry and other
colleges recommend
employment direction
Students in this major can engage in further research work, become relevant scientific researchers, or engage in careers in resource exploration and management, technical consulting, engineering and environmental science. In addition, meteorology, aviation, aerospace and other related business departments in the private sector and government agencies. There are also those who go to relevant units to engage in teaching and management work. This direction pays more attention to personal preference.
