Geoscience is an academic field of study concerned with all physical aspects of the Earth, which includes the oceans, atmosphere, soils, rocks, ice sheets, as well as the exterior and interior of planet Earth. Gathering and analyzing information about the Earth helps understand its structure and processes in the past, present and future. Geoscience is important because its main aim is to protect the environment, prevent or manage natural disasters and predict the environmental future. This can happen through gathering and assessing data, locating water and energy resources and using various methods to study the planet. Geoscience university programs typically teach subjects like Environmental Geology, Hydrogeology, Engineering Geology, Geophysics, Geohazards and Geomechanics, Geomorphology and Geomatics, Meteorology, Oceanography, Structural Geology and Tectonics and more. A degree course in Geoscience not only provides students with in-depth theoretical knowledge, but also with opportunities for fieldwork and practical projects where they can develop essential professional skills such as critical-thinking, problem-solving, communication, strategic planning skills, as well as the ability to conduct laboratory tests, analyze images, make geologic maps and charts, and prepare reports. Potential careers for Geoscience graduates include research, education, administration, resource management and more.
