ANZSCO Code: 234411 Group A
A geologist investigates the Earth’s composition, structure, and other physical characteristics scientific understanding and provides valuable applications in areas including mining reclamation, environmental preservation, civil engineering, and land rehabilitation. In the mining and energy industries, geologists look for natural resources such as primary and precious metals, natural gas, and petroleum. Additionally, they are at the forefront of preventing and minimizing the damage caused by landslides, tsunamis, volcanoes, earthquakes, and other natural catastrophes. Their research is utilized to alert the public to the possibility of these occurrences. Geologists are valuable participants in conversations about climate change.
Geologists investigate the composition, structure, and other physical characteristics of the Earth to advance science and create useful applications in domains including mining reclamation, environmental preservation, civil engineering, and land rehabilitation.
