Geoscientists gather and interpret data about the earth and other planets;  they use their knowledge to increase our understanding of the earth processes and to improve the quality of human life. Their work and career paths vary widely because the Geosciences are so broad and diverse.

The following list gives a glimpse of what geoscientists do in these disciplines and a variety of sub-disciplines:

• Atmospheric scientists study weather processes, the global dynamics of climate, solar radiation and its effects, and the role of atmospheric chemistry in ozone depletion, climate change, and pollution.
• Economic geologists develop metallic and nonmetallic resources; they study mineral deposits and find environmentally safe ways to dispose of waste materials from mining activities.
• Engineering geologists apply geological data, techniques, and principles to the study of rock and soil surficial materials and ground water; they investigate geologic factors that affect structures such as bridges, buildings, airports, and dams.
• Environmental geologists study the interaction between the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and human activities. They work to solve problems associated with pollution, waste management, urbanization, and natural hazards, such as flooding and erosion.
• Geochemists use physical and inorganic chemistry to investigate the nature and distribution of major and trace elements in ground water and Earth materials; they use organic chemistry to study the composition of fossil fuel (coal, oil, and gas) deposits.
• Geochronologists use the rates of decay of certain radioactive elements in rocks to determine their age and the time sequence of events in the history of the earth.
• Geologists study the materials, processes, products, physical nature, and history of the earth.
• Geomorphologists study Earth's landforms and landscapes in relation to the geologic and climatic processes and human activities, which form them.
• Geophysicists apply the principles of physics to studies of the Earth's interior and investigate earth's magnetic, electric, and gravitational fields.
• Hydro geologists study the occurrence, movement, abundance, distribution, and quality of subsurface waters and related geologic aspects of surface waters.
• Mineralogists study mineral formation, composition, and properties.
• Pale ecologists study the function and distribution of ancient organisms and their relationships to their environment.
• Paleontologists study fossils to understand past life forms and their changes through time and to reconstruct past environments.
• Petroleum geologists are involved in exploration for and production of oil and natural gas resources.
• Petrologists determine the origin and natural history of rocks by analyzing mineral composition and grain relationships.
• Sedimentologists study the nature, origin, distribution, and alteration of sediments, such as sand, silt, and mud. Oil, gas, coal and many mineral deposits occur in such sediments.
• Seismologists study earthquakes and analyze the behavior of earthquake waves to interpret the structure of the earth.
• Stratigraphers investigate the time and space relationships of rocks, on a local, regional, and global scale throughout geologic time - especially the fossil and mineral content of layered rocks.
• Structural geologists analyze earth's forces by studying deformation, fracturing, and folding of the earth's crust.

“Mathematics is the queen of sciences” –As said by Carl Friedrich Gauss, the German Mathematician.

Students with a Mathematics degrees are highly demanded in a variety of industries because employers know that Math scholars use mathematical theory, computational techniques, algorithms, and the latest computer technology to solve economic, scientific, engineering, physics, and business problems and this requires strong problem solving abilities and outstanding analytical skills which make the mathematical major very remarkable.

Our main goal is to understand the natural world.

Discoveries in physics have formed the foundation of countless technological advances and play an important role in many scientific areas which make it one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines.

Students enjoy studying physics since it is all about natural science that studies motion and behavior through space and time and the related entities of energy and force.

The Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Assiut University, is one of the oldest scientific departments in the university. The department has witnessed a great development since its establishment in 1957 with the establishment of the university. Among the 129 faculty members and their assistants, there are 65 professors and 16 assistant professors and 14 teachers, whose research activities cover a wide range of different disciplines in chemistry. Moreover, based on the adoption by the University of Assiut of the one-department system, the department of Chemistry teaches chemistry courses with different specializations for the four-year students in the faculties of Science and Education, as well as the first-year students in the Faculties of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine and students of the preparatory teams of Pharmacy and Engineering.

Mission:

The mission of the Department of Chemistry stems from the mission of the Faculty of Science, Assiut University, as it aims to prepare graduates in various chemistry majors according to academic standards that meet the needs of industry and the service sector. The department is keen to ensure that the graduates are fully aware of the ethics of the profession and the requirements of environmental protection. The department offers postgraduate programs (Diploma - Master's -PhD) to prepare generations of researchers in universities and research and industry centers to meet the challenges resulting from rapid scientific developments.

Vision:

The Department of Chemistry seeks to update and develop academic programs and curriculum, and to update teaching methods and methods of student evaluation so that graduates can compete in the job market. The department also includes future plans within its strategy in the field of research in order to enhance the society.

We are a highly productive, research-oriented department with a strong focus on biodiversity, evolutionary Biology, systematics and the classical disciplines of physiology, behavior and Ecology. Zoology is the study of animals; therefore, zoologists study how animals evolved, their behavior, physiology and ecological interactions, and how to conserve populations in the face of global change.

However, Entomology is the study of insects which is an interdisciplinary life science that contributes to our understanding of our environment, and the well-being of our society.

Now, At AUN we have developed strong entomological programs and traditions in teaching, outreach, and research. Our Prospective students will find information about our educational programs, curriculum, and research opportunities.

We play an essential role in solving the environmental problems and in community services through cooperating with other scientific faculties and organizations through preparing a distinguished generation of scientists for the scientific, educational and industrial fields.

This department aims to:

• Supply the market with highly qualified graduates to meet the market needs.
• Play an essential role in solving the environmental problems and in community services in cooperating with other scientific faculties and organizations.
• Participation in achieving the faculty mission by preparing a distinguished generation of scientists for the scientific, educational and industrial fields.
• Provide excellent educational services for students inn Botanical science discipline during Bachelor study, in order to equip them with the required skills, according to the local and international criteria.
• Offer the experiences and counsels for production organizations and services sectors of the society.
