To improve data analysis and predictive modelling, emerging developments in geology are concentrated on integrating cutting edge technologies such as Al, GIS, and remote sensing. Environmental geology is another area of the discipline that is expanding and addressing problems like pollution, reducing the risk of natural hazards, and protecting ecosystems.

• Advanced Remote Sensing and GIS
• Artificial Intelligence and Big Data
• Sustainable Resource Management
• Climate Change Research
• Al Monitoring
• Planetary Geology

Astronomy is a very broad field of Science divided into 4 categories: Astrophysics, Astrochemistry,  Astrobiology, and Astrogeology. They require strong basics in Physics, Mathematics, and skills to analyse data and develop theoretical models. Below are some of the degrees under Astronomy.

• B.Sc. in Astrophysics
• Integrated M.Sc .- Ph.D. in Astrophysics
• M.Sc and Ph.D Astronomy and Astrophysics Integrated
• M.Sc. in Astrophysics
• M.Sc Astronomy and Space Physics
• M.Tech Ph.D Astronomical Instrumentation

Usually there's no age criteria for degree courses, however, given below exams may require you to be within a specific age:

• National Standard Examination in Astronomy (NSEA): Students must be between 14 and 19 years old when they enroll for the NSEA. 
• Indian National Astronomy Olympiad (INAO): Students must be in Class 12 or below.
• International Astronomy Olympiad (IAO): Students must be in group Alpha (14–15 years old) or group Beta (16–18 years old). 
• International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA): Students must be under the age of 20. 

Yes, you can pursue MSW degree after graduating with Life Sciences or with a BSc degree in general. However, you can also look into the prerequisites defined by the university you want to get admission into. Entrance criteria for MSW courses also vary from college to college. Most of the universities accept MSW admission against any UG degree. 

For instance, one university may only require a basic UG degree to pursue the MSW course; whereas, some other university may require the candidates to clear entrance exams and appear for interviews along with a basic UG degree to get admission into an MSW course.

No, it is not always mandatory to do B.Lib.Sc course before a M.Lib.Sc. Many universities accept candidates from any bachelor’s degree discipline, but some prioritize those students who have a B.Lib.Sc or equivalent background.
Not having a B.Lib.Sc does not impact the master’s study since many programs include introductory courses in M.Lib.Sc to help students who do have library Science background to speed up the progress.

Pharmacognosy is close to Botany because it study plants, tiny bugs and also other nature things for medicine. You need to know plants to find, collect and even test them for medicine.

If you know plants you can find right plants to study, know where they grow, how to grow them and how to take out the good stuff for medicine.
