Geo-Environmental Engineering

In this option, students specialize in the application of engineering and geological principles to environmental problems. This includes the detection, prevention, and remediation of groundwater, soil and rock contamination from a wide range of sources (e.g. mining waste, oil spills), and includes engineering issues related to site selection and preparation for waste management facilities.

Our students obtain a unique knowledge and understanding of the critical role geology plays in the distribution and migration of groundwater and contaminants. Graduates pursue careers in a wide range of industries and institutions including resource companies, governmental bodies, remediation teams and consulting groups.
