Applied Geology Stream (B AppGeol): Bachelor of Applied Geology

This stream comprehensively covers the breadth of applied geosciences including mineral exploration and extraction techniques, groundwater resources, environmental geosciences and sustainability.

• apply fundamental geological principles and concepts in theoretical, practical and vocational situations, GC1
• solve mineral and energy exploration, environmental and sustainability problems through creative thinking and the extrapolation, interpolation and analysis of geoscience information, GC2
• collate, synthesise, and visualise geoscientific data sets using digital technologies, and communicate this geological information to industry and community stakeholders concisely and accurately using written, visual, and verbal means appropriate to the situation, GC3
• recognise the finite nature of Earth resources, and the need to manage and mitigate social and environmental impacts of resource exploration and extraction and geohazards, GC4
• recognise the need for sustainable use of Earth resources, and value environmental, indigenous and other community perspectives on geological activities, GC5
• collaborate with professionals across the minerals, environment and energy value chain, prioritise safety, and recognise the corporate and ethical need for accurate exploration results, GC6
