= 2011 PROJECTS: = EA1 EA2 EA3 EA4 EA5 EA6 EARTH AND PLANETARY SCIENCE (Code: EA) The study of sciences related to the planet Earth (Geology, minerology, physiography, oceanography, meteorology, climatology, speleology, sesismology, geography, atmospheric sciences, etc.)

**Subcategories:** Climatology, Weather Geochemistry, Mineralogy Historical Paleontology Geophysics Planetary Science Tectonics

**GEO Geochemistry, Mineralogy** - The study of the chemical composition of the earth and other planets, chemical processes and reactions that govern the composition of rocks and soils. Mineralogy is focused around the chemistry, crystal structure and physical (including optical) properties of minerals. **HIST Historical Paleontology** - The study of life in the geologic past as recorded by fossil remains. **PHY Geophysics** - Branch of geology in which the principles and practices of physics are used to study the earth and its environment. **PLAN Planetary Science** - The study of planets or planetary systems and the solar system. **TECH Tectonics** - The study of the earth's structural features as related to plate structure, plate movement, volcanism, etc.
 * CLIM Climatology, Meteorology, Weather ** - the scientific study of the atmosphere that focuses on weather processes and forecasting.
