How do they match: Geoscientists, Except Hydrologists and Geographers

  • Mine Geologist
  • Mining Production Geologist
  • Environmental Field Office Manager

  • 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.

  • Advise construction firms or government agencies on dam or road construction, foundation design, land use, or resource management.
  • Assess ground or surface water movement to provide advice on issues, such as waste management, route and site selection, or the restoration of contaminated sites.
  • Design geological mine maps, monitor mine structural integrity, or advise and monitor mining crews.
  • Determine ways to mitigate the negative consequences of mineral dust dispersion.
  • Investigate the composition, structure, or history of the Earth's crust through the collection, examination, measurement, or classification of soils, minerals, rocks, or fossil remains.
  • Locate and estimate probable natural gas, oil, or mineral ore deposits or underground water resources, using aerial photographs, charts, or research or survey results.
  • Prepare geological maps, cross-sectional diagrams, charts, or reports concerning mineral extraction, land use, or resource management, using results of fieldwork or laboratory research.
  • Provide advice on the safe siting of new nuclear reactor projects or methods of nuclear waste management.

  • Advise others about environmental management or conservation.
  • Advise others on management of emergencies or hazardous situations or materials.
  • Develop plans to manage natural or renewable resources.
