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.

  • Conduct geological or geophysical studies to provide information for use in regional development, site selection, or development of public works projects.
  • Review work plans to determine the effectiveness of activities for mitigating soil or groundwater contamination.

  • Inspect work sites to identify potential environmental or safety hazards.
