How do they match: Geoscientists, Except Hydrologists and Geographers

  • Mine Geologist
  • Mining Production Geologist
  • Engineering Geologist
  • Mud Logging Data Engineer
  • Soils Engineer

  • 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.
  • Determine ways to mitigate the negative consequences of mineral dust dispersion.
  • 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.
  • 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.

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