Comparing "Geosciences" Across Borders and Cultures - How Seamless Can the Geosciences Move Globally
September 1, 2010
International Geoscience Education Conference (iGEO) 2010
The United States, based on prior IUGS estimates, currently has 50% of all working geoscientists resident and continues to educate about 50% of all new geosciences graduate degree recipients globally. Demographic and cultural trends in the United States, like most western nations, point...
