Earth Science for Everyone! ● Exciting topics ● Relevant for All students (science literacy and future scientists) ● Career opportunities ● Opportunity to contribute to critical societal needs ● More important than ever

Earth Science for Everyone! Critical societal issues, now and into the future: ● Natural Resources (water, energy, etc.) ● Natural Hazards (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunami, floods, etc.) ● Protecting the Environment (global warming, air and water pollution, toxic waste isolation, urbanization and industrialization, recreation on public lands, etc.) All of these issues directly involve the Earth Sciences!

Natural Resources - Energy US uses ~21 million barrels of petroleum/day!

The potential for conservation: Energy saved (1/4 ton of coal) through use of an energy efficient lamp (compact fluorescent lamp)
