Geology is an integrated science concerned with the formation and evolution of the Earth, as well as the natural physical and chemical processes that operate within the environment. This integrated discipline uses concepts from a variety of other fields including biology, chemistry, physics, computer science and mathematics to solve complex environmental and Earth science problems. Knowledge concerning geologic processes are necessary to make intelligent and well-informed decisions concerning the management of natural resources and understanding the impact of natural geologic hazards and anthropogenic influences on the natural environment.
