Geoscience is the study of Earth including the study of the processes that form and shape Earth’s surface, the natural resources used, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected.
The Earth sciences can include the study of geology, the lithosphere, and the large-scale structure of the Earth’s interior, as well as the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Typically, Earth scientists use tools from geology, chronology, physics, chemistry, geography, biology, and mathematics to build a quantitative understanding of how the Earth works and evolves.
