Understanding Geology Beyond Resources

Geology is often viewed merely in the context of resource extraction or dinosaur fossils, but it encompasses much more, including a four-dimensional perspective that integrates time. Modern geosciences require imagination to grasp the multitude of Earth's history and its various iterations over billions of years. The study of geology reveals the narrative contained within rocks, utilizing them as texts that tell stories about the Earth's past. This deep engagement with geological processes enhances our understanding of the planet and encourages a new appreciation for its complexities.
