geology
studies leading to the degree of master of science in geology normally emphasize the fields of petrochemistry and tectonophysics.
petrochemistry is deemed to include: field and laboratory studies of ore deposits, igneous, metamorphic, and lithified sedimentary rocks. tectonophysics is deemed to include: field and laboratory studies of structural geology, rock magnetism, and basin analysis.
the department has specializations in the broad areas of petrochemistry and tectonophysics which have included projects in:
- petrology, mineralogy, geochemistry, structural geology, strain analysis, mapping, tectonics, sedimentation, economic geology, paleomagnetism and experimental rock deformation and strength testing.
at least 30% of our msc 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 proceed to phd studies and most have published their research in peer-reviewed scientific journals. fieldwork has taken place in all parts of canada, including the high arctic as well as overseas, e.g., in cyprus. for a complete list of potential msc geology projects, recently completed theses, faculty members and their area of expertise, please visit the program website.
