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...

As someone who moved out of Michigan after living there 2.5 decades......not sure how this is any different from any other year. Average is 100 days of sun per year in Michigan. ~250 days of clouds is normal and SADS is a commonly diagnosed cause for depression there. Therapists get special training to identify it.

Yeah... I have lived in MI for 39 years. It's always been super cloudy but we also have IMO some of the most beautiful natural resources around so even if it is cloudy there are plenty of ways to get out of funks. There are only so many places that you can see multiple inland freshwater seas in a single day.
