This leaflet sets out the wide range of fields in which geoscientists work and how they play an essential role in many aspects of life, from economics to health.

This resource from Renewable UK illustrates the wide range of careers available in the UK's renewable energy industry.

This Mathematics Matters case study, from the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, looks at how mathematical models try to understand the causes of rogue waves. These huge waves appear without warning, towering high over ships and oil rigs. Traditional mathematical models could not predict the occurrence...

This poster explains how to become a geoscientist. A brief explanation is given for the following areas of geoscience: *Energy *Engineering geology *Environmental geology *Geochemistry *Geophysics *Hydrogeology *Metamorphism *Natural hazards *Oceanography *Palaeontology *Planetary science *Sedimentology *...

Earth Observation (EO) scientists collect information about the Earth – the land, the sea and the atmosphere – using sensors carried on satellites, aircraft, ships, buoys floating on the ocean and thousands of weather stations around the world. There is now a great deal of data available and scientists are finding...

This Mathematics Matters case study looks at the serious problem of coastal erosion. Much of the UK’s coastline is undergoing erosion, placing homes, businesses and other important coastal sites at risk. Mathematical modelling can enable us to understand both the short and long term processes that lead to erosion,...
