Geoscientists are stewards of Earth's resources and environment. They work to understand natural processes on Earth and other planets. Investigating the Earth, exploring other planets and the solar system; determining environmental impacts; and finding new sources of useful Earth materials are just a few of the ways geoscientists contribute to our understanding of Earth processes and history. 

The BS Geology degree at Louisiana State University provides the foundation that geoscientists need solve problems and establish governmental policies for resource management; environmental protection; and public health, safety, and welfare. 

The Earth is an outdoor laboratory filled with opportunities to observe Earth processes in action. By applying their knowledge of forces and factors that shape the Earth, geoscientists seek to reconstruct the past and anticipate the future.
