Earth Sciences
Department
Earth
sciences are the most relevant subjects at KFUPM because of their obvious
bearing on the petroleum and minerals. Ever since the establishment of
this University in 1963 AD, this Department has been in the forefront of
all academic activities. The Department deals with important disciplines
for the study, exploration, mining and use of all natural resources
including petroleum, minerals and water. The disciplines involved in major
construction works of buildings, dams, roads, etc. are also covered by the
Earth Sciences Department. These studies also provide an insight to
current environmental issues.
The
Department is contributing greatly towards the development programs of the
Kingdom by providing trained, skilled and efficient manpower. Its
graduates are currently employed in major organizations that are active in
the exploration, development and production of petroleum and minerals, in
finding more water resources, in big construction works, and in facing
environmental problems.
