Facts About Geosciences
We believe the geosciences play an important role in the changing world through research education, improved communications, and implementation partnering.
The realm of Geosciences includes the scientific exploration of both planet Earth and its neighbors in space; the structure and processes of atmospheres, oceans, land features, above and below sea and ice cover, and planetary interiors; and human interactions with atmosphere, ocean, and land environments.
