Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

I dropped out after researching about marine ice sheet instability some years ago, but that the entire West Antarctic ice sheet could collapse (3.3m SLR), that there's nothing that can be done about it once it's in motion and that the intensity of climate change is moderating the pace of that melting is still giving me the chills.
