What is a Field Geologist?
Geology, the study of the Earth’s natural rock and mineral features, has great use in the modern world. In addition to researching and understanding the history of Earth as it was before humans evolved, geology can also give a clear picture of the structure of Earth today. A field geologist typically performs surveys on specific areas of land in order to create detailed pictures of the contained geology. These pictures, often seen as geological maps, can be of great benefit to human industry and existence, as well as give clues to the formation of the planet and the rules of planetary evolution.
