Geology / Earth Science careers include so much more than oil, gas, & mining! I list over 20 careers / fields of geoscience in this video, including:
- Economic & Exploration Geologists, Petroleum Geologists
- Engineering Geologists
- Environmental, atmospheric, soil, & climate scientists
- Structural Geologists, Geomorphologists, Geophysicists
- Minerologists & Petrologists
- Volcanologists
- Glacial Geologists
- Seismologists & Cryoseismologists
- Hydrologists & Hydrogeologists
- Geochronologists
- Paleontologists
- Geochemists, Biogeochemists, Geobiologists
- Astrobiologists
- Oceanographers
- Meteorologists
Then I go over 8 of these geoscience careers in more detail (what they do, where they work, & what degree they need)
Lastly, I go over the average salary of geologists & geoscientists, followed by listing one bonus geoscience career option! ;)
Geology departments are closing when Earth scientists are needed more than ever before. Don't let geology die! Go get your geoscience degree and help change the world!
