This domain explores the way in which the resources necessary for human society are extracted from the earth, used as raw materials in our factories and refineries, and then returned to the earth as waste. Geological processes have formed the resources we depend on; as well, they determine the fate of waste returned to the environment. Understanding Earth’s geologic processes provides us with the knowledge to mitigate many of society’s environmental impacts caused by resource extraction and waste disposal. As well, it is important to understand the role that economics plays – in determining which types of energy we use, and in managing, treating, and disposing of our waste.

This Domain covers the fundamentals of both disciplines. Students learn of minerals, rocks, soils and waters – and how they interact with each other, and with the atmosphere. Economic theory and the economic effects of public policy related to resource industries, methods of waste disposal, and the effects of climate change on the global economy are also explored.
