What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

Super neat. My zone hasn't changed but my parents have. Cool stuff

Take Raleigh as an example. In 2012 ... Raleigh’s coldest winter temperature was somewhere between 5 and 10 degrees Fahrenheit on average.

Now, the lowest winter temperature is between 10 and 15 degrees Fahrenheit on average.

That's a huge shift for a decade. I wouldn't really call it "super neat" when it's a strong indicator that the imminent climate catastrophe will be much worse than expected.

I didn't think I'd need to clarify that I think the website is neat, not the ongoing climate catastrophe

The website is slick, well designed, and informative

That's all I'm saying my guy
