Environmental geoscience

Environmental geoscience

Environmental Geoscience helps us seek balance between acceptable living standards & environmental preservation. Human existence is dependent on our ability to understand, utilize, manage and maintain the environment we live in - Geoscience (Geology) is the science that seeks to achieve these goals. As the population continues to grow, we must learn to manage our resources effectively and our environment wisely. The Geosciences will inevitably play an increasingly important role in this process.
