GeoDiversity Statement
Wichita State Geology Department is committed to exploring and celebrating the rich
tapestry of geodiversity that our planet offers. Geodiversity is the foundation of
our discipline, encompassing the myriad geological features, processes, and landscapes
that shape the Earth's dynamic history. We believe that understanding and preserving
geodiversity is not only crucial for advancing scientific knowledge but also for ensuring
a sustainable and resilient future for our planet. Through our research, education,
and outreach efforts, we aim to foster a deep appreciation for the Earth's geological
diversity and promote responsible stewardship of our natural heritage.
