Earth Science as a Human Culture

This culture has the dream or purpose to create or reinvent a planet’s physical characteristics, including its atmosphere.

Earth Science - Subcultures

oceanography

Oceanography

in Earth Science

The multidisciplinary study of oceans and seas, their origin, ecosystem dynamics, ocean currents, waves, plate tectonics, the geology of the sea floor, their physical, chemical, and biological aspects, and the life forms that inhabit them.
hydrogeology

Hydrogeology

in Earth Science

The study of the formation and movement of water, above and below ground, in soil and rock.
edaphology

Edaphology

in Earth Science

The study of the composition of soil, which includes its overall volume, volume of mineral matter, organic matter, soil water, and soil air, also the influence of its varying voluminous quantities on plant and animal life.
sedimentology

Sedimentology

in Earth Science

The study of materials transported by water, wind, or glaciers, such as sand, silt, and clay, deposited at the bottom of waterbeds, which turn into rocks.
environmental-science

Environmental Science

in Earth Science

The interdisciplinary study of the environment, to improve its quality in every aspect. Collaborations include ecology, biology, physics, chemistry, zoology, mineralogy, oceanology, limnology, soil science, geology, atmospheric science, and geodesy.
geophysics

Geophysics

in Earth Science

The study of planetary shapes and their gravitational and magnetic fields, internal structure and composition, dynamics, surface expression in plate tectonics, magma generation, volcanism and rock formation, water cycle, snow and ice, fluid dynamics of oceans and the atmosphere, electricity and magnetism in the ionosphere and magnetosphere, and solar-terrestrial relations.
mineralogy

Mineralogy

in Earth Science

The study of the physical properties, chemical composition, and the internal crystal structure of minerals, their utilization, classification, occurrence and distribution in nature, and their physicochemical conditions of formation.
tectonics

Tectonics

in Earth Science

The study of planetary crusts, how they form, their gradual upward and downward movements that form mountains, and their sudden horizontal displacements that cause earthquakes.
paleontology

Paleontology

in Earth Science

The study of ancient plant and animal life forms preserved in rocks, the analysis of fossils, their shape and structure, evolutionary patterns, taxonomic relationships with each other and with modern living species, geographic distribution, and interrelationships with the environment.
geodesy

Geodesy

in Earth Science

The study of the geometric shape, orientation in space, gravity field, tides, and the crustal and polar motions of planets and their property changes over time.
geology

Geology

in Earth Science

The study of the processes beneath the surface that have structured the Earth or any terrestrial planet or natural satellite, the various rocks composed, and the processes by which they change over time.
volcanology

Volcanology

in Earth Science

The study of the nature and causes of volcanoes, their formation, distribution, classification, structure, and the kinds of materials ejected during an eruption.
glaciology

Glaciology

in Earth Science

The study of planetary ice formation over large areas, its accumulation and interaction with climate, the structure and properties of glacier ice, its formation and distribution, and the dynamics of ice flow.
gemology

Gemology

in Earth Science

The study of natural and artificial gemstones and their properties, which include their crystal structure, specific gravity, refractive index and other optical properties.
hydrology

Hydrology

in Earth Science

The study of the chemical and physical properties of water in all its phases, its occurrence, distribution, and circulation on planets, and its interactions with living things.
petrology

Petrology

in Earth Science

The study of the composition, texture, and structure of rocks; and the conditions under which they form.
pedology

Pedology

in Earth Science

The study of the description and mapping of soil units, the origin and formation of soil; the role of organisms in soil production and their relation to soil character.
speleology

Speleology

in Earth Science

The study of caves and cave systems, their features, structures, physical properties, history, the processes by which they form and change over time, the rates of formation of stalagmites and stalactites, and the influence on them of groundwater and hydrologic conditions.
meteorology

Meteorology

in Earth Science

The study of weather and its causes.
geomorphology

Geomorphology

in Earth Science

The study of landscapes to understand the physical, chemical or biological processes that created them.

Earth Science - Data Collection

As an Earth Scientist, please Login and provide research data on any of the following topics.

1. Government Agencies.

In preparing the faculties of knowledge to function constitutionally as Arms of Government, please list as many government offices, agencies, ministries, institutions, or parastatals presently in your region you believe fall under the authority, leadership, jurisdiction, legislation, or administration of the faculty of Earth Science.

 

2. Licensing Rights.

Products and services are the efforts of multiple faculties working collaboratively. However, in our new economic design, conflicts arise on which faculty should possess the rights of ownership. Example. CELLPHONES - Physics or Electrical Engineering. PLASTICS - Chemistry or Materials Science. PHARMACEUTICALS - Biology or Health Science. List as many services, gadgetries, products, creations, or inventions that earth scientists provide or offer presently in your region that you believe fall under the licensing rights of the faculty of Earth Science.

 

3. The Future.

The faculty of Earth Science has just been granted ample funding and unhindered federal powers. Suggest a new idea, course of action, strategy, dream, innovation, or next-generation agency that earth scientists could implement, establish, or research and develop towards achieving a utopia in your region.
