An Earth Scientist studies the physical aspects of the Earth, including its composition, structure, and processes. You might work in environmental consulting, mining, or government agencies. Earth Scientists focus on areas such as geology, meteorology, and oceanography. You’ll collect and analyse data, conduct field studies, and use scientific tools to understand Earth's systems and address environmental challenges.
Earth Scientists play an essential role in understanding and protecting our planet. You’ll need to be detail-oriented and possess strong analytical skills. You’ll collaborate with other scientists and professionals to interpret data and develop solutions for environmental issues. Effective communication skills are crucial for presenting findings and advising on policy and management strategies.
