Geosciences

Earth. Education. Experience. 

Unravel the mysteries of Earth’s past and present to prepare for our future. 

UWM Geosciences students find rewarding, in-demand careers solving problems faced by our communities and answering questions about how the Earth works. Our students gain highly interdisciplinary skills that can be applied to real-world problems. These include identifying, managing, and responsibly extracting water, energy, and mineral resources; managing public lands to serve diverse needs; preparing our communities for natural disasters and environmental and climate change; and helping the public and private sectors grow in safe and responsible ways. At UWM, students study and work alongside internationally-recognized faculty in a collegial and supportive environment while piecing together the mysteries of Earth’s past, present, and future.
