About Bachelor of Science (Earth and Ocean Sciences), Bachelor - at University of Galway

?The great societal challenges of this century - and many of the UN Sustainable Development Goals - are directly related to earth and ocean science: increasing vulnerability to geological hazards (floods and earthquakes); increasing need for renewable energy to replace oil and gas and to capture and store anthropogenic carbon; increasing demand for rare minerals and metals to support modern technology; and increasing need to sustainably manage all water resources as our climate changes. How do we rise to these challenges and how can we plan against their impacts? EOS is perfectly placed to train you as a geoscientist equipped with the academic, technical and field skills required to better understand both the complex processes of planet Earth and our interactions with them.

At the University of Galway we offer an approach to Earth and Ocean Sciences that is unique in Ireland. Our staff experience and skills cover a wide range of disciplines such as mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, geophysics, hydrogeology, physical and chemical oceanography, marine biogeochemistry, palaeobiology and sedimentology. Whether we are studying earthquakes, plate tectonics, volcanoes, ocean productivity, ocean currents, mass extinctions, climate change, energy, or environmental pollution, the most productive insights into these phenomena often arise from interactions amongst the different disciplines.

This course is taught by academic staff from Earth and Ocean Sciences. Optional modules are available across the College and from other Colleges.

Details of staff and contact information is available on the Earth and Ocean Sciences webpage here.
