How do they match: Geoscientists, Except Hydrologists and Geographers

  • Environmental Scientist
  • Environmental Consultant
  • Environmental Field Office Manager
  • Environmental Geologist
  • Environmental Protection Geologist

  • Study the composition, structure, and other physical aspects of the Earth. May use geological, physics, and mathematics knowledge in exploration for oil, gas, minerals, or underground water; or in waste disposal, land reclamation, or other environmental problems. May study the Earth's internal composition, atmospheres, and oceans, and its magnetic, electrical, and gravitational forces. Includes mineralogists, paleontologists, stratigraphers, geodesists, and seismologists.

  • Study historical climate change indicators found in locations, such as ice sheets or rock formations to develop climate change models.
