Earth scientists are employed in many different areas. Some typical occupations are geologist, petroleum geologist, geophysicist, meteorologist, hydrologist and astronomer.
Federal projections indicate employment growth in the geological sciences will be as fast as the national average. Entry-level job opportunities may grow even faster as the employed population retires over the next decade. Federal spending will stimulate the greatest job growth...
Geologists are curious about the world in which they live. The earth is their laboratory. Geology is the fundamental discipline used to explain the natural earth systems that shape our changing planet. Today the majority of geoscientist are employed in the environmental fields, but many are also employed in the exploration for and production of natural resources.
