The environmental geosciences provide earth-science students who have environmental or interdisciplinary interests with a background to pursue careers or graduate studies in environmentally related geoscience fields, especially in areas related to water resources, water contamination and remediation, oceanography and climate change.

Many earth scientists are interdisciplinary.

• Geochemists deal with the chemical make-up of everything from surface and ground waters to magmas and rocks in the earth's crust; with using geochemical techniques in the discovery of new mineral and energy reserves; and in addressing environmental concerns with the extraction of these reserves.
• Biogeochemists investigate the cycling through the global environment of chemical elements, from essential "nutrients" such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, to toxic metals such as mercury and uranium.
• Geobiologists are concerned with the paleontology, biogeography, and morpho-behavioural functional evolution of fossils; paleoecological aspects of ancient life forms, their history, and the evolution of life; and establishing a relative time frame for past geological and climatic events.
• Geophysicists measure and study the gravity, magnetic, and electrical fields of the earth; record and analyze seismic waves generated by earthquakes and man-made sources; and image subsurface water and hydrocarbon reservoirs and leakage.

Physics is the most fundamental natural science, It examines basic concepts such as energy, force, and spacetime, and all that derives from these, such as mass, charge, matter and its motion. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the world and universe behave.
Physicists want to really understand how the world works, in every detail and at the deepest level. Physicists study questions facing today’s science and technology and are at the forefront of solutions for instrumentation, measurement techniques, and model development in many areas.

Several recent national surveys have indicated that there is a shortage of physicists in almost all parts of Canada. This situation will become even more acute in the next decade, so physicists will continue to find good jobs.

The Physics program is available as a major, double major, minor or honours option as part of a four-year Bachelor of Science degree. The Faculty of Science is one of the university’s oldest faculties and was established when UNB was founded in 1785. Our faculty has an outstanding reputation, both nationally and internationally, and as a student you will be able to benefit from its stellar accomplishments in research and for its acclaimed graduate and nationally-accredited undergraduate degree programs. The impact of their research has led to four of our faculty members being placed in the world's top one per cent of chemists most cited in scientific papers.

UNB is home to some of the best and most up-to-date facilities in the country. We are one of only a few universities with an MRI and our chemistry labs are the best in the country. UNB students have access to the following facilities:

• Canadian Rivers Institute
• Centre for Environmental and Molecular Algal Research
• Planetary and Space Science Centre
• The Microscopy and Microanalysis Facility
• MRI Research Centre
