University Majors

University of California, Davis
Geology A.B.

Geology is the study of the Earth, and in particular of the history, the structure, the evolution of life and the processes that have molded the Earth and its inhabitants. With the advent of the space age, the concerns of geologists have expanded to include the solid planets of the solar system. Geology has both academic and applied aspects, and the program at UC Davis addresses both perspectives. Academic concerns include the study of the history of life, the Earth and other planets, and of the processes that drive historical evolution. Applied concerns involve the interactions between humans and the Earth, and include such areas as mineral resources, earthquake research and preparedness, ground water quality analysis and land use planning.
