2 Program Scope The Department of Geosciences offers three undergraduate degree programs and a min program spanning the geosciences (that is, earth sciences), including geology, atmospheric sciences (including meteology), and oceanography. It also offers a graduate program leading to a Master of Science in Applied Geosciences. The B.S. in Geology provides rigous professional education and training in geology with a strong emphasis on investigations in the field (that is, outdos). It also provides excellent preparation f graduate wk in geology. The B.S. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences includes a Concentration in Meteology that provides modern professional education and training in meteology, including weather fecasting, and preparation f graduate wk in atmospheric sciences. A Concentration in Oceanography provides analogous preparation in oceanography. The B.A. in Earth Sciences provides a broad, flexible, integrated background in the earth sciences. The Min in Earth Sciences does the same on a smaller scale and can complement a variety of other majs. The M.S. in Applied Geosciences provides education and training in research in the geosciences in close collabation with a faculty advis, with emphasis on applied problems in the San Francisco Bay region. Career Outlook Geoscience investigations lead to new discoveries of useful earth materials, solutions to environmental problems, and insights into earth processes that affect people s lives. Geoscientists contribute basic infmation to society f analyzing and solving problems and establishing policy f managing resources, protecting the environment, and assessing natural hazards. Dwindling energy, mineral, and water resources, and increasing environmental concern about issues such as global warming and its impacts, present challenges that create a demand f geoscientific expertise. Graduates in geology, meteology, and oceanography may pursue a wide range of careers in the earth sciences and related fields. Geologists currently find the greatest opptunities in the broad areas of environmental/engineering geology, including such specializations as surface and groundwater hydrogeology, geotechnical studies aimed at locating and remediating toxic sites, earthquake and landslide hazard assessment, and site evaluation f urban planning construction. There also continue to be positions available in petroleum geology and minerals explation. A shtage of certified high school and middle school science teachers has placed qualified teachers in high demand. Meteologists will find opptunities in sht- and longrange weather fecasting, air pollution assessment, wind energy assessment, global climate change research, and broadcast meteology. F most types of jobs, the strongest candidates will have a master's degree, several years of field experience, and an interdisciplinary background with strong chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer skills. Geologists and meteologists are employed by a large number of government agencies, including the U.S. Geological Survey, National Weather Service, Environmental Protection Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Califnia Division of Mines and Geology, Bureau of Land Management, Army Cps of Engineers, and U.S. Fest Service. Many geologists and

3 some meteologists in the San Francisco Bay Area wk f environmental consulting firms, and some meteologists become broadcast meteologists wking f local television and radio stations. In addition to preparing students f advanced wk as professional geologists, meteologists, and oceanographers, the M.S. in Applied Geosciences qualifies students to teach at community colleges and prepares others to continue their graduate education in doctal programs leading to careers in university teaching and research. UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS IN GEOSCIENCES The B.A. in Earth Sciences, B.S. in Geology, B.S. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, and Min in Earth Sciences are described and their requirements summarized below. Course descriptions are available online. Advising. The Department of Geosciences requires that declared majs consult with an advis every semester, and prospective majs should consult with an advis as early as possible, particularly about selecting courses in the General Education program that best fit the maj program. Students will also be advised about completing basic science requirements befe taking upper division courses in geosciences, and about the der in which required courses should best be taken. Students interested in preparing to teach high school middle school earth sciences and integrated science should consult the credential adviser in the Department of Geosciences because specific courses beyond the Department s degree programs are required. BACHELOR OF ARTS IN EARTH SCIENCES The Bachel of Arts in Earth Sciences builds a solid conceptual foundation of basic physical sciences, mathematics, and earth sciences (that is, geology, meteology, and oceanography). It then helps students to integrate knowledge of these separate disciplines in ways needed to understand and help solve imptant interdisciplinary problems, such as slowing and adapting to climate change and managing conflicting demands that humans make on the natural environment. It also helps prepare students to advise and educate others about issues requiring knowledge of how the earth wks. Beyond the basic foundation, students have great flexibility to adapt the program to satisfy many possible interests in the earth sciences and prepare f any of a variety of careers where a background in the earth sciences would be beneficial. Some career possibilities include: high school and middle school science teaching; technical suppt f firms engaged in environmental engineering, environmental moniting and protection, natural resource analysis and management, hazardous materials and ecological remediation, computer mapping, etc.; technical suppt to city, county, state, and other governmental agencies charged with land use and other planning; preparation f graduate education in such fields as resource management, environmental public policy, and environmental law; science writing, editing, and librarianship;

4 interpretation f park systems, nature centers, museums, and other areas requiring natural science field skills and natural histy communication skills; business and entrepreneurism. Prospective majs are encouraged to consult with an advis in the Department of Geosciences to learn about graduation requirements and to plan a program adapted to their particular interests. Students interested in preparing to teach high school middle school earth sciences and integrated science should consult the teaching credential adviser in the Department of Geosciences, because the Department s single-subject subject-matter teacher preparation program in geosciences ( html) requires several courses in addition to those required f the B.A. in Earth Sciences.

The graduate program also provides an opptunity f practicing geoscientists to update and upgrade their disciplinary knowledge and skills. There are no fmal concentrations within the program, but students choose an area of research from within the fields of the geologic, atmospheric, oceanographic sciences. During the application process, students must select a course of study, in consultation with the graduate codinat.

12 The Geosciences Department includes faculty with expertise in geology, meteology, and oceanography fields that are critical to understanding many environmental problems, such as air and water contamination, coastal erosion, and climate change. A maj focus of the graduate program is study of the environment of the San Francisco Bay area. Courses are offered in sedimentology and stratigraphy, landscape evolution, active tectonics, quaternary geology, hydrogeology, groundwater contamination, engineering geology, coastal oceanography, and applied meteology with a coastal emphasis. The program requires that all students complete three ce courses. One of these (GEOL/METR 700) is a multidisciplinary seminar that exposes students to current geoscientific research and literature. The other two ce courses (GEOL/METR 701 and 702) provide students with skills f thesis research and writing. The program emphasizes a rigous grounding in the sciences and, particularly in geology, extensive labaty and field wk. Admission to the Program To be considered f admission to the master's program as a classified graduate student, applicants must: Satisfy the university admission requirements. Have a bachel's degree in one of the geosciences (geology, meteology, oceanography). Have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 in geosciences and related science and mathematics courses. Satisfactily complete the Graduate Recd Examination general test. Provide letters of recommendation from at least two people familiar with the applicant's previous academic wk and/ professional accomplishments. Submit a statement of purpose. Letters of recommendation and statement of purpose should be submitted directly to the appropriate graduate codinat in the Department of Geosciences. Other materials should be submitted to the Graduate Division of the university. Applicants lacking the appropriate background (i.e., a degree in one of the geosciences) may be admitted as conditionally classified graduate students. These students must complete additional course wk that will not be counted toward the graduate requirements. Conditionally admitted students may take courses but cannot file a Graduate Approved Program until any deficiencies have been satisfied. Written English Proficiency Requirement Each graduate student is required to demonstrate an acceptable level of written English proficiency on two levels: Level One: satisfied by demonstrating adequate writing skills in GEOL/METR 701. If remedial wk is necessary, the student will be expected to complete additional course wk in English. Level Two: satisfied by completion of a written thesis (GEOL METR 898).

13 Advancement to Candidacy To be advanced to candidacy, each student must: Satisfy level one of the written English proficiency requirement. Satisfy all course deficiencies stipulated upon entrance into the master's program. Choose a faculty adviser and complete a research proposal that has been approved by the student's thesis committee. File a Graduate Approved Program.

Elective units are chosen from courses offered by the Department of Geosciences other university departments, and must be selected by students in consultation with their faculty advisers. At least six of these units must be courses numbered 700 higher, and at least six must be courses offered in the Geosciences Department. Some students may choose, with their thesis advisers' approval, to complete thesis research under the auspices of a local governmental agency geoscientific environmental firm. Those who choose this option must still complete all the requirements f a thesis, but do so in the context of an internship relationship with an outside agency. Students can receive their graduate degree when they complete all course requirements and the thesis committee approves the written thesis and al thesis defense. 3
