Geology /Earth
Science/Geosciences/ is the study of the Earth, which includes its
interior and exterior processes, rocks, minerals, fossils, and all the surface
processes that have shaped the landscape around us and continue to shape our
lives today. It deals with economic and/or noneconomic minerals, rocks and its
exploration and extraction process. It also deals about human natural needs
like groundwater and human wants and supply like gems. Geology can also
decipher us the energy input preference like water for hydroelectric power,
geothermal energy and petroleum and/or coal for energy generation. Geology
branches can be pure geology /geomorphology, crystallography, mineralogy,
petrology etc/ an applied geology like hydrogeology, economic geology, mining
geology, mineral exploration etc/. Now a day, geological science application
got more and more acceptance not only in national level but also in global
level. In general speaking, geology is
the science of nature/earth with the whole materials that the earth contains
from crust up to the last limit depth of inner core
Geology department is one element of the
departments under College of Natural and Computational Sciences. It was
established in 2020. The department had 2 geology instructors from its
beginning and now it has two instructors in hydrogeology and geophysics
specializations and other three MSc students. Now, the department teaches
geology for undergraduate students by regular session.
