'george's half-rational regarding earth studies' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'george's half-rational' is the wordplay.
'half' means to take half the letters.
'rational' becomes 'logical' (similar in meaning).
'george' halved is 'geo'.
'geo'+'logical'='GEOLOGICAL'

Can you help me to learn more?
