Earth Science is the application of many sciences to the understanding of the Earth. While it is often used as a synonym for geology, traditionally Earth Science encompasses a wider range of scientific inquiry including oceanography, meteorology, planetology, and soil sciences. Today’s Earth science has expanded to include environmental studies as applied to the physical world.
The curriculum is designed to provide the fundamental knowledge and...
Unique among the sciences, geology embraces a broad spectrum of scientific inquiry. Geologists systematically amass observation data and measurements to compile and organize the body of knowledge about Earth.
Specialized geological studies apply information and techniques from other sciences and engineering to solve problems of the physical environment. Examples of geological specialties include the following: paleontology, the study of prehistoric...

The development and survival of mankind is dependent upon the field of knowledge known as the Earth sciences. From the water we drink to the air we breathe, nearly everything we do is connected in some way to the earth. As a result, it is absolutely necessary to understand our planet’s processes, resources, and environments.
While the role Earth science plays in meeting society's needs grows, the job market continues to provide a good balance of...
