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.

  • Study historical climate change indicators found in locations, such as ice sheets or rock formations to develop climate change models.
  • Conduct geological or geophysical studies to provide information for use in regional development, site selection, or development of public works projects.
  • Plan or conduct geological, geochemical, or geophysical field studies or surveys, sample collection, or drilling and testing programs used to collect data for research or application.

  • Design research studies to obtain scientific information.
