English, as a global lingua franca and the language of the internet, is a valuable skill to have in the professional world. As a professional geoscientist, knowledge of technical English specific to the geosciences is an asset that will open doors to career opportunities and increase the reach of your professional network.
The internet has created a permanently connected and active global network; individuals and teams from around the world are able to communicate and work together, regardless of their respective geolocations. Work in the geosciences is often collaborative and for international teams, English is often the language of communication.
