Mission Statement:

The Earth Science for Society Exhibition will inspire a comprehensive understanding of Earth Science which is fundamental to public understanding of responsible consumption, resource management, natural hazards, climate science, and environmental issues.

Knowledge of Earth Science is crucial so geoscientists, governments, and companies can collaborate responsibly to find and develop resources for the products and infrastructure that we use in our daily lives.

Increased science literacy is especially essential for the students of today as they are the decision-makers of tomorrow and the future caretakers of the Earth.

Objectives:

  • To expose students and the public to various aspects of Earth Sciences in a fun, educational, and interactive way
  • To inform students about education and career options
  • To demonstrate how Earth Science plays a critical role in our society
  • To make the connection between responsible resource development and the things we use every day
