Thinking about becoming a geoscientist?
Geoscientists :
- Search for mineral and energy resources
- Recognize the 资源开采和利用对经济和环境的影响.
- Study natural hazards and environmental geoscience to clean up and reclaim land.
- Research watershed science to maintain and manage clean water sources.
- Investigate global climate change and oceanography
- Communicate cutting-edge geosciences research to our communities.
- Explore planetary geology to understand planets like Mars.

pp电子极速糖果坐落在落基山脉和科罗拉多高原之间的地质天堂. Our program is very field oriented and includes field trips to places such as the rugged, glacially sculpted San Juan Mountains, the Colorado River, the world renowned Book Cliffs, Arches and Canyonlands, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, 以及令人叹为观止的科罗拉多国家纪念碑. 我们的位置也为科罗拉多梅萨学生提供了一些 best recreational opportunities in the nation.
Geosciences Job Outlook
“从2020年到2030年，地球科学家的就业预计将增长7%, about as fast as the average for all occupations. The need for energy, environmental protection, 负责任的土地和资源管理预计将刺激需求 geoscientists."
"As of December 2020, 2014-2018年间获得学位的地球科学毕业生中有91%找到了工作, 而75%的2019年毕业生和80%的2020年毕业生表示同样如此. For geoscience graduates who earned their degree in 2020, 31% of bachelor's, 50% of master's, 到2020年12月，91%的博士找到了工作."
Grand Junction Gem and Mineral Club Event Information
欢迎并鼓励所有地球科学专业的学生参加GJGMC双月会议, field trips, and other events, including the fall Gem and Mineral show.
Geosciences Applauds Generous Geo-Fundraiser
The Grand Junction Gem and Mineral Club 是地球社区的杰出成员和教育推动者的家园吗. Every year the Gem Club hosts events, including the Annual Grand Junction Gem, Mineral, and Jewelry Show, which draws in people from all over the rock-hound world. The fall show attracts more than 1500 attendees. 这些人带着他们的美元，带着宝石和矿物宝藏离开!
自1980年以来，宝石俱乐部一直在筹集奖学金，并将其颁发给CMU地球科学专业的学生. 从1980年到2024年，该俱乐部慷慨地颁发了超过4万美元的奖学金!
宝石会是本港经济的重要贡献者. Importantly, from a CMU Geosciences perspective, 俱乐部也非常慷慨地支持CMU学生的教育. 我们CMU地球科学部的所有人都感谢宝石俱乐部的慷慨, strong ties to our university, and commitment to education of our Western Slope youth.
大结地质学会:每月演讲者信息
欢迎并鼓励所有地球科学专业的学生参加GJGS每月的活动.
The Grand Junction Geological Society (GJGS) 地球科学专业人士、学生和当地居民是否有多种地理利益. 在其每月的会议上，GJGS邀请嘉宾演讲，包括CMU地球科学 faculty and alumni, on hot topics in the geosciences.
For many years, GJGS及其个人成员一直是CMU地球科学项目的忠实支持者. Since 2012, the GJGS has awarded $18,250 in student scholarships, $2375 in student-speaker awards, 以及6500美元用于地球科学项目的其他财政支持. Each spring, the GJGS typically awards five, 每年$750的实地营奖学金，用于支付参加暑期课程的费用. 协会还慷慨地为野外夏令营的学生购买和捐赠帐篷和其他课程材料. GJGS的个别成员建立了捐赠基金，为CMU学生提供奖学金, including the endowed Forrest Nelson scholarship, which was initiated in 2018 with a donation of $600,并将为CMU地球科学专业的学生提供多年的奖学金.
每年春天，GJGS还会组织威廉·切诺维斯纪念实地考察. 成员和CMU地球科学学院的教职员工和学生利用这次旅行来迎接新的露头和我们在大峡谷的地质社区的新朋友.
GJGS是CMU地球科学专业学生教育的慷慨支持者. 我们CMU地球科学部的所有人都感谢GJGS的慷慨, strong ties to our Geosciences students, 以及对他们的教育和职业发展的承诺.

Some Geosciences students' feedback: “周日矿山之旅是一个很好的机会，可以看到地质学是如何在劳动力中使用的, and why it is so useful in so many industries.”
“总的来说，我认为周日矿山之旅是一个非常酷和独特的经历. It showed me a potential field I could work in the future. 它还展示了地面上无法看到的独特地质, 以及在这一特定地区开采有价值且有利可图的铀矿石的一般流程.”
Magnetometer, what now? Geophysics in the Field
WHERE "TECH" MEETS "THE FIELD"
地球物理学学生用地球科学项目的磁力计收集数据. 这台仪器被用来研究磁源的存在, such as large igneous rock bodies (plutons), 地表以下，在关口的昂孔帕格里高原和悖论盆地之间, CO area.
Adventures in Geoscience is a teaching expedition, 十名来自CMU校园的女学生将在科罗拉多河流域进行为期五天的河流探险. 这次旅行将在2024年夏天进行，学生零费用，并提供所有装备. 这个机会为CMU的女性提供了与校园内其他女性建立联系的机会, learn about topics in geoscience, and gain confidence in outdoor, scientific, and recreational pursuits. Rivers are a valuable resource that have power to make lasting impacts on CMU women students. Participants will share their experience with peers, community members, scientists, 和专业人士在2024年秋季学期开始的公共活动上进行交流. All donors 学生演讲和公众活动的地点和时间是否会通过电子邮件通知.
