#Futuregeo: Public Engagement in Earth Science

Enrollment in Earth Science degree courses is declining.  The uptake at ‘A’ Level is declining.

So how do we promote Earth Science in a positive light as part of the solution to a sustainable future, rather than part of the problem?

Linked below are a number of suggestions as to how we might engage the public more effectively.
