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:
