    Makes sense to me, it’s also a big contributor to the smog I breathe and the grime I get tired of dusting off everything in the damn apartment. We can stop blaming my skin particles, they’re not that color. And my shoes don’t get outside much. But my street feeds straight into the 405.

What is geoscience?

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…
