Kellogg University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA Abstract Young researchers face a wide choice of scientific approaches and directions that may shape their careers. The Earth sciences, in particular, offer a broad range of topics to study and techniques to use that exceeds what any current scientist was exposed to at the schools they attended. At early stages of their careers, researchers need to gain confidence in their expertise, and they often can benefit by expanding their scientific horizons and forging new collaborations.
