Editor's Note
Geology
is the study of the nature, origin and evolution of the earth and other
terrestrial bodies. This first inclusion in the Virtual Textbook
is perhaps is the best way to consider the scope of the geosciences in
general and geology in particular. This chapter deals with a number
of scientists at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and their
role in scientific research. This chapter also allows the reader
to look beyond the breadth of the subject and to the reality of the relevance
of the geoscienes in their everyday lives.
