My Passion For Geology

This semester Geology 1110 has easily been one of my favorite classes. I have loved having Dr. Brock-Hon as my professor simply because of her passion and enthusiasm for the subject. I also really respect her because she understands that for most of us geology is not our major. The class and material covered I thought was going to be boring, but I have actually found it really interesting. I have even started to notice certain rocks and minerals out side of class. This semester I have not missed

for science, and a passion towards technology enabled me to choose Earth Science as a profession. From a very younger age I became very passionate about the day to day marvels of science happened around this curiosity of mine eventually was discovered by my teachers and to have a better understanding on every day science I took science subjects in my O and A levels. My bachelor degree in Applied Geology led me to acquire a strong background of concepts such as structural Geology, Basics of Geophysics

With Hazen’s blend of storytelling and science he really showed me the origins of Earth and the origins of life on Earth. He starts at 4.5 billion years ago when our solar system came together from cosmic debris. He describes the Big Bang (Big Thwack) from a wandering asteroid that knocked off a piece of Earth, which at the time was molten to make our Moon. The creation of the oceans and continents, which he describes, are fed by Earth’s “inner heat”. He then moves to the photosynthetic organisms

Paleontology…my passion What is paleontology? Paleontology is: In short a study of what fossils tells us about the ecology of the past, about evolution, and about are place, as humans, in the world. Paleontology adds up knowledge from biology, ecology, geology, anthropology (the study of humankind in particular) archaeology, and even computer science to understand the processes that have led to the organization and eventual destruction of the different type of organisms since life arose. What

interested in-depth knowledge. Many factors have triggered my mind and influenced me for pursuing a Masters of Science in Civil Engineering with the major in Geotechnical Engineering. Basic ideas in this field made me go to retrieve more. My interest in Geotech was sparked by the Geotechnical aspect of our country and mainly a part of Pokhara Valley (my residential place) where Sink Hole formation has been a prominent problem in last

They finally came back to reality and realized they could not hide forever. Hunter was the first to leave, Amy second, and the main character last when his parents came and got him. When his parents first came to get him he did not want to go, “I shook my head, said that I didn’t know if I was ready to leave. I couldn’t imagine life above ground, or, if I did, it seemed less tenable than what I had.”(103).He felt as if he had no point in being above ground, nothing to look forward

My favorite time of the year was coming to an end, as I had to say goodbye to those worry-free, beach-bum summer days. Summer had passed before my eyes and it was now the start of my sophomore year in college. I was enrolled in a couple psychology classes for my major and a Geology class that would count towards my GE. The semester before was not the best, as it had a negative impact on my grade point average. So here I am again, another semester hoping the same thing does not happen again. I wake

Everyone forges their own path, backed by their passions, hopes, and aspirations, and for now, my academic goal is to gain knowledge, further passion, and cultivate care. Looking back, I know that my childhood has impacted how I see the world. I grew up with the natural world at my fingertips, spending most summers outside. As I’ve grown, so has my love of the natural world. I have learned about a few of the countless injustices happening around the world, and if I could to anything to better conditions

reading to chance. This experience sparked my passion for research. Eventually, I began to employ the scientific method to solve increasingly more serious problems, culminating in the countywide science fair. At Science Montgomery, I won first place with my research into making an optimal parabolic reflector that resolves the common problem of weak internet signals. However, my interests in science, technology, engineering, and math are as broad as my imagination. I am especially eager to work in

the combination of my two passions, environmental science and community service. With my intended double major in environmental science and business this internship will provide me the opportunity to further expand my knowledge in the field. It will provide me with the much needed field experience that is necessary to every successful environmental scientist. Also, I want the opportunity apply all the knowledge I’ve learned from high school geology, chemistry, biology, and my senior capstone project
