Earth Scientists

Earth scientists study the Earth’s physical properties, processes, and history. They investigate how the planet's landforms, oceans, atmosphere, and ecosystems interact and change over time. This helps us understand natural phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes, and climate change, as well as resource availability and environmental impacts. Their work informs disaster preparedness, natural resource management, and environmental protection. Earth scientists use tools like mapping, sampling, and computer models to analyze data, contributing valuable insights about the planet’s past, present, and future.
