How do they match: Geoscientists, Except Hydrologists and Geographers

  • Core Analysis Operator

  • 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.
  • Identify deposits of construction materials suitable for use as concrete aggregates, road fill, or other applications.
  • Identify risks for natural disasters, such as mudslides, earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions.
  • Inspect construction projects to analyze engineering problems, using test equipment or drilling machinery.
  • 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.
  • Measure characteristics of the Earth, such as gravity or magnetic fields, using equipment such as seismographs, gravimeters, torsion balances, or magnetometers.

  • Interpret research or operational data.
  • Monitor construction operations.
