Diploma In Geological Technology Geo Environmental

Program Overview

Unlock the undiscovered potential of what lies below the surface of the Earth. From resource exploration to surveying and land development, geological technologists use their knowledge of rock, groundwater and sedimentary formations to inform major decisions across a number of industries.

NAIT’s 2-year Geological Technology diploma program will provide you with a solid background in physical geology, petrology, hydrogeology, geophysics, structural geology, historical geology and sedimentary geology. You’ll also develop foundational mathematics, chemistry and applied science knowledge and receive essential safety training to ensure you and your colleagues are safe in the field.
Geo-environmental
In our geo-environmental specialization, we’ll show you how to assess groundwater quality and quantity, and discuss what is required to safely remediate contaminated sites. Water and the way it moves through the ground will be a major focus of study in this specialization, and your ability to properly assess environmental risks and conditions will be put to the test. You will perform environmental site assessments, implement remediation and reclamation strategies at contaminated sites, conduct groundwater exploration and determine groundwater quantity and quality. 
What You Will Learn
You’ll participate in a wide range of activities, including:

  • researching, interpreting and mapping geology of a given area 
  • identifying common rocks, minerals, glacial deposits 
  • using software applications used in the field
  • performing basic topographic, geophysical, geochemical, and geological surveys
  • conducting environmental site assessments
  • creating conceptual site models for remediating contaminated sites
  • evaluating natural resources for production and extraction
