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.

  • Develop ways to capture or use gases burned off as waste during oil production processes.
  • Identify deposits of construction materials suitable for use as concrete aggregates, road fill, or other applications.
  • Locate and estimate probable natural gas, oil, or mineral ore deposits or underground water resources, using aerial photographs, charts, or research or survey results.

  • Proofread documents, records, or other files to ensure accuracy.
