Geologists study how the Earth works, including the natural planetary processes that directly affect people – such as the formation of mineral and petroleum resources, geological hazards, climate change and environmental protection.In this course you will gain a thorough grounding in theoretical geology with a practical emphasis on mineral, petroleum and groundwater resources and their environmental management.What you'll learn
- Apply fundamental geological principles and concepts in theoretical, practical and vocational situations
- Solve geological problems using logical scientific methods and creative thinking
- Synthesise geological data on a range of spatial and temporal scales to make interpretations that allow for scientific uncertainty
- Communicate geological information concisely and accurately using written, visual, and verbal means appropriate to the situation
- Employ new and established technologies to collect and interpret geological data, recognising their strengths and limitations
- Acquire geological knowledge and expertise from a range of sources in a variety of situations
- Appreciate international perspectives on geoscience and recognise the importance of global standards for collecting and reporting geological data
- Recognise the need for sustainable use of earth resources, and value environmental, indigenous and other community perspectives on geological activities
- Work ethically and professionally alone and as part of a team, complying with applicable legislation and managing time and other resources efficiently and effectively
