Geosciences address all issues related to the earth, ocean and atmosphere. They are fundamental as all energy resources and raw materials come from the Earth. “The major applications of geosciences are in exploration and responsible development of natural resources (oil, gas, coal, minerals, water soil, etc), preservation of the natural environment, restoration from environmental damage, and mitigation of geohazards such as earthquakes and landslides, as also exploratory research,” says M K Pandit, HoD, Geological Sciences, Rajasthan University. All geoscientists work with people, data, information, ideas and technology. They work in the field and laboratory, as also in the office. They may have to work outdoors quite often and in all kinds of weather, and some like seismologists or volcanologists may have to face dangerous conditions while observing and gathering data. for more information please log onto the following link - http://educationtimes.com/educationTimes/getArticleDetail.do?parent=96§ionid=97&articleid=20090625200906231619582298ccc8fd5&parentname=cAreerZ§ionname=Science&type=null&key=null
