• Developing natural resources in ways that safeguard the environment
• Maintaining the quality and sustainability of groundwater and surface water supplies
• Reducing human loss and suffering from natural hazards and disasters, such as floods and landslides
• Determining geologic controls on natural environments and habitats, and predicting the impact of humans
