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...

OP, post a damn summary paragraph or something more than a title and a link. Tell me why I give and upvote, and get engaged. Help the author, help yourself.

I don't think I understand you. Why don't you click on the link to access it? As the link reveals, it is from ScienceDaily, so there is also a summary.

It's worth knowing your audience.

As I write this there are 19 upvotes and ours are the only comments, which is off topic. If you want to react a broader audience you have to entice them. You have a lead in a title and link but no follow up, no insight, and with that very limited engagement about a great topic. Give a paragraph, or copy their lead paragraph. Write a reaction. A little bit of work on your part will generate a lot more interest of lemmy's, many of who will just scroll on by without clicking without a bit more reason to dive in.

I find it quite impressive that you feel entitled to dictate to me how you want me to post. You are free to post the way you want ~~when you start doing so~~.

Edit:

  1. The strikethrough
  2. blueworld@piefed.world I am not proud of my reaction to your approach, which really hit a nerve due to its tone. If you look into my post history, you will notice that sometimes I add stuff in the body section sometimes I don't. Personally, when the article is short usually I don't. Apart from that I am more interested in the people who are willing to to read the article, and what I add is for them (archive link, the study that inspired the article, etc). I don't care for those who are bored to make a click to check it out.
