The Department of Applied Earth and Environmental Sciences at Al al-Bayt University offers bachelor’s and master’s degree programs that focus on integrating scientific knowledge with practical applications in geology and environmental sciences, with strong emphasis on fieldwork and laboratory training.
Programs and main fields: The programs include courses concerned with studying the Earth in terms of its composition and processes, as well as the relationship between humans and the environment, and they include:
Mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry to understand the composition and properties of the Earth’s crust.
Structural and engineering geology and field surveys to interpret geological structures and apply them in practical contexts.
Geophysics and the use of measurement techniques to investigate subsurface properties.
Surface and groundwater sciences, focusing on their distribution and quality.
Environmental sciences and environmental pollution, including environmental impact assessment and natural resource management.
Stratigraphy and paleontology to understand Earth’s history and the evolution of life.
These topics are taught through theoretical, practical, and field-based courses designed to prepare students scientifically and professionally for work in areas such as natural resource assessment, environmental quality monitoring, and geological surveying.
