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 are to 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.

Also required for Honours: BEES4511, and 18 UOC from BEES4521, GEOL4131, GEOL4141 or other Stages 2-4 Science courses (not completed previously) approved by the Honours coordinator.

Entry to Honours requires the completion of stages 1-3 of an Advanced Science study plan in Geoscience or Geophysics, or completion of stages 1-3 of the Applied Geology degree, or a BSc Major in Geology or Environmental Earth Science with a Credit average or better in stage 3 Geology courses.
