Earth sciences, encompassing geology, meteorology and environmental science, are the complex systems that shape our planet. This section describes the diverse skill sets needed in government, such as climate change science, geospatial science and eco systems science, as well as flooding and water expertise to help address our pressing environmental challenges.
