Earth Day 2026 carries a theme that resonates deeply with me: “Our Power, Our Plane”. It’s a call to recognize that environmental progress has always been built by people and communities that demanded better, researchers who charted paths forward, and information professionals who made that knowledge accessible to all. At GeoScienceWorld (GSW), that is exactly the work we are in. My…

We have rounded up the top 10 most accessed research articles published last year, representing articles across a range of geoscience subjects. Check out the top reads below.
Geologists have an awareness of Earth’s history and processes across millions to billions of years, and even an insight into the future condition of the planet. Yet, as Pheobe McMellon (CEO of GeoscienceWorld) has said, geoscientists have often been underrepresented in the sustainability sciences.
Now, the tide may be turning, as there are more opportunities to solve sustainability challenges. Geologists can reapply their skills from traditional geological roles, whether it be from academia or the oil and gas industry. We speak to several geologists about their career journey towards sustainable geoscience, and their perspectives:
