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.

Philosophy investigates many of the big questions of life: what is a human being? Are there such things as justice, beauty or God? What counts as knowledge?

Investigating these and other questions, such as the nature of time, the relation between body and mind, how we define good and bad, is a conversation that draws from great thinkers-­â€-­â€past and present. This is a discipline that challenges each of us to think about these kinds of problems critically, creatively and systematically.

Why Philosophy at UNB?
The UNB program encourages you to complicate and clarify your thought through close and critical reading of great thinkers, engaged discussion in seminar settings, and challenging writing opportunities through sustained writing-­â€ mentoring. This provides a robust preparation for graduate study in philosophy and a superb foundation for other fields such as law, journalism, government, publishing, health professions, environmental policy, and business.

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 and the applied physics degree focuses on developments that depend on that understanding. The applied physics program incorporates practical physics courses (for example with applications in the energy and the electronics sectors), and allows room for electives in other Faculties such as Engineering and Computer Science.

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.
