Gain hands on experience in an internship, research project or community outreach.Students will conduct original scientific research, generating scientific questions/hypotheses prior to embarking on data collection, utilize and/or design methods to address the geologic question, problem, or hypothesis, collect relevant data, interpret the data, assess the questions/hypotheses, discuss the results, and present conclusions orally and in writing.

have demonstrated an understanding of scientific methodology and the interdisciplinary nature of the geosciences, culminating in a capstone experience involving collection and analysis of multiple data sets to interpret Earth processes.

Graduates will be familiar with sources of scientific information and be able to utilize scientific literature in geophysics and important allied fields.

Graduates will be able to effectively communicate scientific concepts or the results of scientific research in both written and oral form.

Use scientific and spiritual reasoning wisely.

Use repeatable observations and testable ideas to understand and explain our planet, and communicate their work professionally-orally and in writing.

Access and utilize the geologic literature.

Use appropriate field and analytical tools for the purpose of data collection and analysis.

Students can critically evaluate geologic information from peer-review literature or secondary sources.

Students will utilize scientific methods to design and execute research projects that include collection, analysis and interpretation of data.

Conducting Scientific Research: Engage in cutting-edge research with faculty through the University's Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experiences, funded research grants, and independent studies.

Graduates will be able to apply mathematics to describe atmospheric phenomena and use computer software to analyze atmospheric data.

Acquire advanced technical and mathematical skills that will be useful for careers and/or advanced studies in atmospheric sciences and related disciplines.

Know the design and use of meteorological instruments, and techniques for collecting and interpreting the data.

Graduates will understand data collection techniques and instrument capabilities, and will be able to collect, analyze, and interpret geoscience data through the use of computers, field and laboratory equipment, software, and instrumentation appropriate to the geosciences.

Critically evaluate data and interpretations, and succinctly communicate data and observations using spreadsheets, graphical and/or spatial analysis tools.

Understand and apply appropriate mathematical, statistical, and computer programming techniques and methods necessary to solve problems in the atmospheric sciences.

Graduates will collect, analyze, and interpret quantitative and qualitative data and draw inferences from them.
