A Career of Working Towards a Sustainable and Thriving World.

You can have a career that makes a difference. Work in the geosciences can improve the quality of life for people around the world. Humanity's biggest challenges have been identified within the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Geoscientists are working to understand the Earth and its processes, and to develop solutions to the challenges we face.

Working as a geoscientist comes in many forms - many jobs are indirectly related and use geoscience as part of their toolkit for a solution, which AGI refers to as geoscience+ careers. There are opportunities for geoscience and geoscience+ careers from all levels of educational background.
