Geological engineers play an important role in identifying and mitigating man-made and natural hazards that pose a threat to civil structures, infrastructure, or people. You’ll learn to apply engineering to solve complex geologic, atmospheric, and environmental problems facing humankind such as site investigations for tunnels, dams, or roads; exploring and harvesting mineral and energy resources; or studying geologic hazards such as volcanoes, landslides, and earthquakes.
