Earth Science Institutions
Earth science institutions are organizations that study our planet's systems, including its atmosphere, oceans, land, and interior. They conduct research, monitor environmental changes, and develop knowledge about natural processes and hazards like earthquakes, weather patterns, and climate change. Examples include universities, government agencies (such as the US Geological Survey), and research centers. These institutions help improve our understanding of Earth, support disaster preparedness, and inform policies to protect the environment and public safety. They often collaborate internationally to address global issues impacting the planet’s health and stability.
