Knowing our planet

What triggers a volcanic eruption or causes a glacier to melt? What happens when an asteroid falls to the Earth? How does life evolve, thrive, and go extinct? We are volcanologists, hydrogeologists, planetary scientists, palaeontologists, and more. And we are digging deep into Earth’s archives to piece together the past. With over 510 million sq km to cover (that’s just the surface), we’re going to need explorers...who wants to get their hands dirty?
