Why study Earth Sciences?

Earth scientists may work anywhere on Earth – and also with material from the Moon, and with planetary images. They may travel widely, working in many different countries and climates: on an exploration drilling rig in the cold of Alaska or the heat of the Persian Gulf, in Antarctica, the Himalayas, at sea drilling the ocean floor, in arid environments seeking groundwater, and in the many naturally hazardous volcanic and tectonically active regions of the world. Geoscientists work in the field, laboratory and office gathering rock samples and making measurements, applying many and varied analytical techniques, interpreting results, computer modelling, presenting reports, and contributing to development of policy on the Earth’s vital resources and life-sustaining environment. Our graduates pursue varied careers path.
