Earth Sciences

Geologists and geophysicists study the planet Earth and the processes that regulate its functioning and dynamics at many different spatial and temporal scales. The Earth is a dynamic planet, where the ground surface can tremble, volcanoes erupt, currents and tides modify the coasts, mountains are modeled by uplift and erosion, winds and rivers transport and redistribute sediments sometimes invading inhabited areas. Geosciences study the causes and effects of the interactions between the geosphere, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the biosphere and the consequences that the effects of ongoing climate change may have on human-planet interaction.
