Resolution

To add a concentration in COASTAL AND MARINE GEOSCIENCE within the BS Degree in Geology

Whereas the establishment of a concentration in Coastal and Marine Geoscience would allow students (particularly Geology majors) interested in this area to focus their studies and to identify their expertise more clearly for the purposes of employment and post-graduate study

Whereas the establishment of this concentration does not require the addition of any new courses or library resources

Whereas existing courses and resources will support a parallel proposal to establish a new track within the Environmental Science (ENSC) major, be it therefore

Resolved that a concentration in Coastal and Marine Geoscience be established within the Department of Geology to accommodate majors in Geology who are interested in this subject.
