Geoscience is the study of our planet, its rocks, oceans, and atmosphere.
Many people find a deep personal satisfaction
in better understanding our planet and its history and cyclic processes,
but there are also important practical applications. Geoscientists use
their expertise to monitor changes in the environment, to predict and
evaluate how human activities may contribute to environmental change,
and to manage the earth's resources. The study of geoscience provides

teaching, science journalism, and research in geology, oceanography, climatology
and meterology.
