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.
Thinking about a geoscience major or minor?
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!
Geoscience majors 和 employment
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.
