There is a number of fields:

Hydrogeology deals with the supply of drinking water, groundwater quality, waste water treatment and the mitigation of environmental pollution.

Many field geologists are engaged in prospection of mineral ressources and fossil fuels providing the raw materials for industry and energy supplies.

Other field geologists map the rock formations, their composition and the associated tectonic structures (faults, folds etc.) which is of vital importance for the building industry, because they need to understand how much investment into special protection of infrastructure and buildings needs to be done.

A number of geoscientists is employed by insurances as they are trained to assess the hazards in certain areas e.g. flooding, eruptions of volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes. They are able to produce hazard maps and work together with city planners to create emergency plans in case a catastrophe happens.

Most of the background information that feeds into the debate on climate change is derived from studies of Earth Scientists working on past and modern climate change.
