Science and technology began when the early upright-walking humans picked up a few stones, examined them, and considered some stones to be more useful than the others.
​And exploration began when the early humans asked, "What lies behind that hill?"

"The Most Important Questions in Geoscience"
I am conducting a survey on "Geoscience: The Most Important Questions/Problems" for an article.
I am requesting each geoscientist to suggest 1-5 most important problems that remain to be resolved in the broad area of earth science.
Your answer need not be very detailed; just a simple line for each question will suffice.
Please send your reply to this email (rsorkhabi@egi.utah.edu).
The names of respondents will remain confidential. I will send the results (the article) to all respondents.
This survey has also been posted as an Open Discussion Forum on the website of the Geological Society of America (GSA).
You may also use the Open Discussion Forum to post your ideas if you are a GSA member.
Thank you very much for your attention,
Rasoul

"Why So Much Oil in the Middle East?" first published in February 2010 is the most downloaded article of the Geo Expro magazine.
