Although field work plays an important role in many studies, today’s geoscientist commonly use ocean drilling vessels, satellite imagery, high-precision geochemical and geophysical instruments, and the latest in electronic and laser microscopes.
Many companies visit us annually to hire our students both for summer work and permanent positions. A significant proportion of our students become professional geoscientists. |
