Geosciences students investigate earth processes at scales that range from atomic to planetary. Geoscientists integrate and apply a wide range of scientific skills and concepts to examine Earth鈥檚 composition, structure, and processes in order to better understand its past, present, and future. In addition to having the opportunity to have fulfilling and environmentally friendly careers, their rigorous educational experience affords geoscience degree holders with good employability and salary potential. Geoscientists also have the benefit of working in multiple work environments including in the field, laboratories, and the office.
