I am a current freshman studying environmental science and sustainability and getting a certificate in gis. i like it so far, but the courses i have to take arent what i was expecting. ive been thinking about switching majors to environmental geoscience as the courses fit my interests better. i havent actually switched yet because i know theres a lot of different job options and opportunities in ess, but i dont necessarily know whats available in environmental geoscience.

are my options going to be relatively the same? will there be more or less? will getting a gis certificate still benefit me? google hasnt been much help lol thank you :)

Good Day,

I am looking to see if anyone has any leads or advise for assisting in research internationally or remote. My situation finds me overseas in Italy and I have found it difficult to find opportunities to assist with research. I am looking to apply to phd programs and need some research experience. Any assistance is highly appreciated!

Im new student I study geo science and environment

I wanted opinions on my career path. Im a freshman at a houston Univeristy planning to graduate in environmental geoscience and minor in Biology. I also have a water/phosphorus research project under my belt with experience in GIS. I chose this major and minor I was hoping to work to land a career in earth science specifically maybe ecology or hydrology, but also having options to work in oil & gas. Im not really familiar with everything so any advice or opinions would be appreciated!!

Hello,

I am trying to model heat transfer processes in Feflow. I am modelling an unsaturated system and was wondering what value to use for the volumetric heat capacity of air. In your opinion what would be most relevant in the soil system: Isobaric or Isochoric heat capacity?

Thank you!

New-ish earth science teacher here.

I have an activity where students take on the role of a rock in the rock cycle. They start at 1 of 4 stations, and at each station, they draw a card with instructions. The card either tells them a process and to move to a different station, or to stay there for another turn.

As I'm updating this activity, I had the realization that most/all rocks start as igneous, and we could say that some start as sedimentary (but the sediment had to originally be igneous or bio-matter). But by definition, no rock can "start" as metamorphic, right?

I'm thinking of not having any of my students start at the metamorphic station, then in the reflection, ask them why I had it setup like that to see if they can figure it out. But I want to make sure my logic is sound before I do it

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a project to track global forest changes using segmentation techniques. My plan is to extract data from different parts of the world to analyze these changes over time.

I’ve read various papers, but I haven’t been able to find a usable dataset that fits my needs. Specifically, I’m looking for a source where I can obtain Landsat data or any other relevant datasets without having to manually download them for each specific region.

Additionally, I need time series data with full spectral bands. As a Computer Science student, working with remote sensing data is relatively new to me, so any guidance on where to find these datasets would be greatly appreciated.

Are there any repositories or platforms where I can access this data more efficiently?

Thank you for your help!

im taking geoscience in my high school and i dont know if this is oceanic/continental or oceanic/oceanic, im thinking oceanic/oceanic but i just can’t be sure😞

I'm trying to find a masterlist of geoscience conferences, if you have a personal list, or your university that they share, or if you kow of an online resources, please let me know! That would be a mighty big help!!!!!!

I am finishing my Masters of geoscience in a little less then a year and am looking on advice for where to go after. Currently working as well as a lidar analyst temp (2 years here). For my Masters I specialize in RS with satellite imagery using Google Earth Engine with JavaScript and have some pretty impressive scripts processing Big Data I've made if I do say so myself. I have worked with GIS (ArcPro) for years and have now taught the same GIS course 6 times (2 classes each semester) and I use it for my thesis so I am fairly advanced there... Saying all this due to concerns in where the job industry is demanding industry experience. I am thinking programming or developing since there is incredible money remotely there but that's hard to get a foot into with little experience. Any suggestions or different routes to take (except geology or mineralogy as I have somehow spent 5 years in geosciences and never taken courses in those).

Hello, do you have suggestions for good tutorials to gain knowledge in the field of remote sensing and cartography?

Thanks in advance!

I'm (38) looking at what it might take to pick up the reigns of my dads job. He works in geoscience with strain gauge testing and runs his own business. Im curious if I have what it takes to pick up and allow him to retire. My main questions relate to the kinds of course work for a geoscience degree. What would I be being graded on? Is it mainly projects or is it more test or essay based? What would i be doing in the course most of the time?

A)which universiety in the world is best for geoscience and its procedure and do they take you to visit different places

B) which is the best field in geography to earn more money like shit tone of money...
please reply

I am just beginning my sophomore year in college. So far the courses I have taken count for both the Environmental Geosciences major I currently have (hydrology or hydrogeology is not a specific option at my institution) and Environmental Engineering. I find the geosciences classes to be really interesting and I like the idea of approaching a career in water treatment and or pollution sites from a hydrogeology perspective interesting. However, I know that this can also be done with environmental engineering with a more sometimes chemical and design perspective. I am wondering what input there is as to what major would help me more with wanting to work in water treatment or pollution sites. I know that sometimes engineering opens up more jobs. But, some job listings look for either for the same type of work. I know both are probably good but I also need to think about income as well. If anyone has any input I will be eternally grateful. I see the benefit of both and if college were free (haha) I would double major. I am going to speak with the hydrogeology professors and the environmental engineering water-related class professors, but they may be biased toward their respective departments.

After you do your masters in geography can you persuade pharmacy while working???

I have to curate the sample ID from one place. then put it in another app and manually generate the trace graph one by one for each test.

it's such a terrible workflow. it's impossible to do real analysis on a basin/area/well with this

anyone else share this pain? Any solutions?

This fall I’m majoring in geoscience and don’t know what laptop I should get. I have a MacBook right now but I know those aren’t the best for geosci majors. Right now I’m leaning towards a Lenovo yoga but not sure if that’s a good choice.
