How do they match: Geoscientists, Except Hydrologists and Geographers

  • 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.

  • Design geological mine maps, monitor mine structural integrity, or advise and monitor mining crews.
  • Advise construction firms or government agencies on dam or road construction, foundation design, land use, or resource management.
  • Analyze and interpret geological data, using computer software.

  • Design research studies to obtain scientific information.
