The article reports on the potential shortage of workforce in the American Geosciences Institute (AGI) Geoscience Workforce program. Estimates show the number of U.S. geoscientists who will retire by 2021, higher than the next-generation workforce. Forecast data from the U.S. Department of Labor indicate a deficit of geoscientists by 2021. One of the proposed solutions to fill this gap include substitution from individuals with non-geoscience backgrounds.
