Welcome to the 地质部门!
什么是地球科学?
Geoscience is the study of planet Earth, its materials, the processes that act upon them,和 the history of the planet, 和 its life forms since its origin. 任务 of Skidmore's geosciences program is to apply the underst和ing of Earth processes to contemporary issues such as Earth resources, l和-use planning, 和 global change. For more information, check out our 使命宣言.

与此同时， 了解地质学职业 和 工资. And check out Geoscience alum Cynthia Blum Carroll's ('78) feature in the Fall 2009 范围 杂志!
地球科学专业与就业
经济衰退? 我们需要地球科学家! 根据 U.S. Department of Labor 2020 Occupational Outlook H和book, "Employment of geoscientists 和 hydrologists is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations" over the next eight years. 2010年，平均工资 for geoscientists with 0–2 years experience (entry-level) was $93,000." (American Association of Petroleum Geologists).
地球科学新闻
"Of quartz, geoscientists make lots of silly geoscience puns. 但更重要的是， geosciences help us to appreciate the materials 和 processes of our planet 和 situate the decisions that we make about important issues like climate change in a way that considers different scales of time 和 space." Read article >>

给地球科学专业学生的建议
Skidmore's Career Services offers a program called Living the Liberal Arts. 校友 panelists from different majors return to campus to provide advice on their post-grad 专业的旅行.
On March 29, 2011, four geosciences alumni were on campus. 这是一个简短的剪辑 Matt Shrensel '09, a staff geologist for Langan Engineering 和 Environmental Services, 提供他的见解.
