The Division of Earth Sciences supports proposals for research geared toward improving the
understanding of the structure, composition, and evolution of the Earth, the life it supports, and
the processes that govern the formation and behavior of the Earth's materials. The results of this
research will create a better understanding of the Earth's changing environments, and the natural
distribution of its mineral, water, biota, and energy resources and provide methods for predicting
and mitigating the effects of geologic hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods,
landslides.

Earth science is the study of the Earth's structure, properties, processes, and four and a half billion
years of biotic evolution. Understanding these phenomena is essential to maintenance of life on
the planet. The expanding world population demands more resources; faces increasing losses
from natural hazards; and releases more pollutants to the air, water, and land. Sustaining our
existence requires scientific understanding of the natural materials and processes linking the
geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Life prospers or fails at the surface of the
Earth where these environments intersect.

The employee in this position reports to the Division Director of the Division of Earth Sciences (EAR) and will provide support for the activities and programs as well as the related programs across the Division. The position includes a wide spectrum of research facilities, grants policy and process administration activities in support of the organization.
