A major field and laboratory project, which may include geological mapping, laboratory experimental work and processing of earth science data (possibly including satellite imagery, geophysical or geochemical datasets, or hydrogeological information). The project may involve aspects of resource development, engineering or environmental geology, regional geology and groundwater studies. The results of the project will be presented in the form of an honours thesis. Projects may receive external support from companies or government agencies.
Geological field work of up to six weeks duration may be required. Students may incur personal costs.

Note/s: Plus BEES4511, and 18 UOC from BEES4521, GEOL4131, GEOL4141 or other science courses at stages 2 to 4 (not completed previously) approved by the Honours coordinator. Entry requires the completion of stages 1-3 of Advanced Science study plans in geoscience or geophysics, completion of stages 1-3 of the applied geology degree or a major in geology or earth environmental science with a credit average or better in stage 3 geology courses.
