Is geology a good major if I am more interested in research than application? I have absolutely no interest in coal, oil, gas exploration, mining, etc. I am also not interesting in doing research on something such as the origin of a specific mountain range or a geologic structure. I am more interested in research that has the potential to benefit the human population. For example, I am more interested in researching such things as climate change, changes in earth systems, planetary science, etc.
