Researcher Information

Message for high school students

The Earth has been changing for 4.6 billion years, and those changes are recorded in its rocks and strata. Geology is the science that reads these records to uncover how our planet has evolved through time. 
Geology plays an essential role in our everyday lives. It provides the foundation for studying the environment, natural disasters, and natural resources—issues that are becoming increasingly important to society.
Geological research includes fieldwork in the nature, analyzing data using physics, chemistry, and biology, and so on. Whether you enjoy working outdoors or prefer careful analysis in the lab, geology offers a place where many different strengths and interests can shine.
If you’re curious about the Earth, we invite you to step into the world of geology.
