Geoscience-related refers to topics, research, and activities connected with the Earth and its systems. It encompasses the study of the planet’s materials, processes, and history, as well as the interactions among the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Researchers in this area seek to understand how Earth formed, how it evolves, and how humans influence and are affected by geologic and climatic processes.
Major subfields include geology (rocks and Earth’s history), geophysics (physical properties and processes of the Earth),
Methods and data common in geoscience-related work include field observations, laboratory experiments, geochronology and isotopic dating,
Applications of geoscience-related knowledge encompass natural hazard assessment and mitigation (earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides), resource exploration and
Key organizations include professional bodies such as the International Union of Geological Sciences, American Geophysical Union,
