This fall when the fields and lined, the crowds are out, the band is playing and the teams are taking the field, the iHigh Broadcast Network will be there. Graduates of these programs are often known as geoscientists.
Geologists study the composition, structure, and history of the earth's crust.
They seek to find out how rocks are formed and what has happened to them since their formation. Geophysicists use the principles of physics and mathematics to study not only the earth's surface but also its internal composition, ground and surface waters, atmosphere, oceans, and its magnetic, electrical, and gravitational forces. Both fields are applied to the exploration of natural resources and include such specific activities as designing landfill sites, preserving water supplies, and approving hazardous waste disposal. The subdisciplines help differentiate the varied types of work that geoscientists perform. Petroleum geologists explore for oil and gas deposits by studying and mapping the subsurfaces of oceans and land.
