What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

Can be but won't be. It will be too expensive and unprofitable and other pressing political needs will require the financing that was going to be allocated to this project, and then it will be put on the backburner with a start date way in the future, like 2040 or something and cancelled when nobodies looking.

The UNCCD conference in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, highlighted the urgent need to address land degradation, which affects 18.9% of the world's land, up from 14.7% in 2015. The analysis showed that countries like Mexico, India, and many in Africa have seen significant increases in degraded land. However, there are signs of hope, as some countries like Ecuador, Botswana, and Burkina Faso have made progress in restoring degraded land. The successes were mainly due to tree restoration and soil fertility improvements. Despite the grim outlook, the conference emphasized the need for more data and international funding to address land degradation, which currently receives less funding than climate change and biodiversity initiatives.

Just in case people were wondering.
