Earth science is a broad field of study that encompasses many different disciplines. Fields of scientific study include meteorology, climatology, and geology. Included within geology itself are a large number of subfields, including petrology, stratigraphy, hydrology, oceanography, paleontology, structural geology, and planetary science. Furthermore, geoscientists utilize the broader hard sciences of chemistry and physics to advance their discoveries within all these disciplines. The integrated nature of many of these fields within the Earth sciences calls for the ability of scientists to use the latest technology.
