A day in the life of a field geologist
Earth Scientists like me study the Earth: how it formed, how it changed over geological time, and how all the different โbitsโ such as the atmosphere, oceans, soil and rocks interact with each other.
In detail, Iโm a geologist โ I specifically try to understand the rocks beneath our feet. And in even more detail, Iโm a field geologist. Nothing excites me more than the prospect of getting to spend weeks in a tent up a remote mountain somewhere (although preferably not in the rain), collecting rock samples for analysis back in the lab.
