Discover why landscapes differ, why earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur, why mountains and oceans exist, or why dinosaurs became extinct? Geologists attempt to answer the questions of why? how? and under what conditions? as well as questions concerning time (when?) and place (where?). Between fieldwork and time in the lab, geology is the process of answering these questions. Discover Geology at UVM.
The study of geology is an expression of curiosity of the world around us.
In the field, and in the lab, our students maintain a mountain view.
