Geoscienze, or geoscience, is the multidisciplinary field that studies the Earth and its systems, including the planet's composition, structure, processes, history, and interactions with life and human activity.

The field encompasses a broad range of subdisciplines, such as geology, geophysics, geochemistry, hydrology, meteorology and

Geoscience relies on field observations, laboratory analyses, and quantitative methods. Tools include remote sensing, geographic information

Applications include natural resource exploration and management, groundwater and water resources, natural hazard assessment and mitigation

In higher education, geoscienze are studied within departments of Earth sciences or geosciences, with bachelor and
