Geoscience Education, Research, and Careers: Towards New Roadmaps.

The article discusses the challenges and opportunities in the field of geoscience education, research, and careers. It highlights the need for new roadmaps and public images for the profession, as well as renewed validations for the relevance of geoscience work. The article also mentions four reports published by reputable agencies that provide recommendations for reprogramming and refreshing geoscience in various aspects. These reports address key research questions related to Earth's internal magnetic field, plate tectonics, critical elements distribution, earthquakes, volcanism, topographic change, the critical zone's influence on climate, Earth's past climate dynamics, changes in the water cycle, biogeochemical cycles, geological processes' influence on biodiversity, and reducing the risk and toll of geohazards. The given text discusses four reports published by the American Geosciences Institute (AGI) and other organizations that highlight the importance of geoscience in various areas. The reports emphasize the role of geoscience in addressing climate change, protecting communities and ecosystems, understanding water resources, exploring alternative energy sources, assessing natural hazards, managing mineral resources, promoting sustainability, and improving public health. The reports also discuss the skills and competencies needed for geoscience education and the contribution of geoscience to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The text suggests that the geoscience profession needs to adapt to evolving societal needs and expectations. [Extracted from the article]
