Geoscience emerged from the historic core discipline of geology, which focused on the rocks, fossils, and mineral resources of the solid earth, and of the past. Within the last half-century, extraordinary technological advances have shifted the spatial scale to the whole of the planet, and the time scale to include the present Anthropocene Epoch and future we must prepare for.
Geoscience is the highest paid STEM natural science discipline, with an abundance of jobs and career pathways. Our alumni enjoy highly paid environmental careers, faculty positions in academia, specializations within K-12 education and communications, and --intrinsically-- an enhanced appreciation of our place in the universe.
