Although the geo prefix typically indicates topics of or relating to the Earth , planetary geology is named as such for historical and convenience reasons. Due to the types of investigations involved, it is also closely linked with Earth based geology. Planetary geology includes such topics as determining the internal structure of the terrestrial planets , and also looks at planetary volcanism and surface processes such as impact Impact crater crater s, fluvial and Aeolian processes aeolian processes. The structures of the giant planets and their moons are also examined, as is the make up of the minor bodies of the solar system, such as asteroid s, the Kuiper Belt , and comet s. Eugene Shoemaker is credited with creating the Branch of Astrogeology now called the Astrogeology Research Program within the U.S. Geological Survey .

Environmental geology , like hydrogeology , is an applied science concerned with the practical application of the principles of geology in the solving of environmental problems. It is a multidisciplinary field that is closely related to engineering geology and, to a lesser extent, to environmental geography . Each of these fields involves the study of the interaction of humans with the geologic environment, including the biosphere , the lithosphere , the hydrosphere , and to some extent the Earth s atmosphere atmosphere . Environmental geology includes managing geological and hydrogeological resources such as fossil fuel s, mineral s, water molecule water surface and ground water , and land use . studying the earth s surface through the disciplines of geomorphology , and edaphology defining and mitigating exposure of natural hazards on humans managing industrial and domestic waste disposal and minimizing or eliminating effects of pollution , and performing associated activities, often involving litigation.
