Notes Applicable to all Honours Programs

Earth and Environmental Sciences at McMaster encompass ﬁve major themes: Aqueous Environmental Geochemistry, Earth Sciences, Environmental Hydrology and Climate, Environmental Policy, GIS and Spatial Analysis. It should be noted that each thematic area has its own sequence of courses and prerequisites (See the Course Listings section of this Calendar). Students may elect to take some or all of the upper level courses from different areas. In addition, there is a set of courses encompassing research design, ﬁeld work, internships, and the senior thesis or review paper.
