Geology is an exploration of Earth's 4.6 billion-year history including:

  • rocks that compose it,
  • processes that modify and shape the Earth, and
  • resources like water, energy, and minerals that are important to society.

As geologists, we study earthquakes, volcanoes, glaciers, climate, fossils, groundwater, Earth’s crustal rocks, and even other planets in an effort to understand complex, interconnected planetary systems. We invite you to join us!
