Earth, our unique blue planet, is the only world that we know of to host life of endless variety. Over millennia, the curiosity of Man has led him to unravel numerous secrets of the enormous universe; yet, we have only scratched the surface and we are yet to discover life somewhere else in its vastness. On the other hand, our knowledge of our own planet has expanded exponentially; yet, it seems the more we know about it, the more fascinating it becomes.
Under this theme, we turn our attention to Earth Sciences. We tackle a variety of aspects relating to the Earth’s structure, its climate and the ongoing and pressing issue of climate change, its amazing biodiversity and its enthralling revelations. As usual, we also discuss noteworthy figures that have contributed significantly to our knowledge of Earth; we also look into some cultural aspects relating to Earth Sciences.
