Earth Sciences is the natural science that deals with Earth, the interior make-up, and superficial features, its formative and destructive processes, its age, history and development through time.
Geologists are concerned with a diverse range of issues such as the origin, migration and quality of groundwater, river and coastal erosion, desert-dune migration, the origin and evolution of oceans and continents, of mountain ranges, valleys and canyons. Studies concerning the causes and effects of natural hazards, such as those created by land and rockslides, earthquakes, floods and droughts, and volcanic eruptions all fall within the realm of Geology.
The Faculty of Science is one of the university’s oldest faculties and was established when UNB was founded in 1785. The faculty has an outstanding reputation, both nationally and internationally, and students will be able to benefit from its stellar accomplishments in research and for its acclaimed graduate and nationally-accredited undergraduate degree programs. The impact of their research has led to four of the faculty members being placed in the world's top one per cent of chemists most cited in scientific papers.
