Earth Science Week

 

Geology and the other branches of the earth sciences are essential in achieving environmental protection goals. Daily decisions and long-term strategies that protect our environment depend on our scientists who collect geologic samples in the field, perform sample description and data entry in the office, and conduct sample analyses in the lab.  The results are provided through publications, maps and digital data layers that increase our understanding of Florida’s natural systems and processes.
