“Wow I really AM going to live to see society collapse under the burgeoning weight of its own destructive greed,” and then stop and think about what you’re doing with your life? Because I do that periodically and it is bone-chilling.

Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
