Overview

Earth science is concerned with the evolution of life, planetary interiors, the causes of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, oceanic and atmospheric phenomena, and earth surface processes. Student-centered learning grounded in hands-on field and laboratory based instruction constitute Southern’s Earth Science program, which has a more than 50-year tradition of producing first-rate geoscientists with expertise in geology, meteorology, oceanography, astronomy, and environmental earth science. The B.S. Earth Science with concentration in Natural Hazards is designed to provide students with a fundamental background in the underlying science of natural hazards (hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, drought, earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts, wild fires, and climate change) along with electives in Public Health and Forensics that address elements of the human consequences and response to these natural disasters. The offering is designed for students who are interested in working for governmental (local, state, and federal) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that help mitigate and provide relief for natural disasters. Upon completion of a bachelor's degree in the Earth Sciences, students should: Obtain a broad knowledge of Earth Science and its subdisciplines (Geology, Meteorology, Oceanography, Astronomy). Understand and be able to demonstrate the scientific method. Demonstrate scientific reasoning -- cause to effect, multiple causes and cause sequences possible, quantitative and/or qualitative reasoning, critical thinking/reasoning skill. Demonstrate information literacy -- search for scientific data or information, discern reliable from non-reliable sources, source attribution, reliable and accurate reporting. Demonstrate proficiency in communication -- oral, written and technological. Synthesize ideas -- interrelationship of sub-disciplines of earth sciences, interdisciplinary thinking.
