TERESA BERGEN SCIENCE STINGER WRITER

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work out in the field studying rocks and caves and volcanoes and earthquake faults? Geoscientists do it all the time. Many travel all over the world conducting research, col- lecting specimens, or gathering data. Some search for resources such as oil, natural gas, miner- als, and groundwater. Some determine the location and intensity of earthquakes. And yet others help solve engineer- ing problems in constructing buildings and highways using geological knowledge. There are many different specialty areas in which geosci- entists work. Geophysicists, hydrologists, mineralogists, oceanographers, geomagnetists, paleontologists, seismologists, vulcanologists (to name a few) are all geoscientist. There are jobs in the Earth Sciences.
