Earth Science is the study of the history, structures, and processes that shape planet Earth. Earth Science involves a significant breadth of topics from planetary structure and composition, plate tectonics, earthquakes and volcanoes, natural resources, and the history of life on Earth. Although the profession focuses on opportunities to explore, extract, analyse, understand and monetize raw planetary materials, an equally important and rapidly evolving segment of an Earth Scientist s career focuses on the protection of Earth and its most precious natural resources.
