Geoscopic

/ˌdʒiːoʊˈskɑːpɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the observation or examination of Earth and its features.

Etymology

From 'geo-' (earth) plus '-scopic' (from Greek 'skopein', to look or observe), meaning 'relating to viewing or examining Earth.'

Kelly Says

While 'geoscopic' is a rare scholarly term, it represents how natural philosophers once called ALL earth observation 'scopic'—like microscopic and telescopic—before geoscience became its own massive field.
