CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AS A GEOLOGIST




Are you an undergraduate studying geology in any tertiary institution and bothered about what may become of you after graduation?


Are you yet to enter the university perhaps to study geology but seems you do not know what and what you may be at the instance of your graduation?


The truth is … you are in the right place. That is why you landed on this page!!!


Be that as it may, Geology is the study of the history (and present) of the Earth. We will not delve much into this definition now.


A geologist is one that studied geology.



Are you a young Geologist and you want to know the problems usually encountered by them?
The main aim of our discussion here is to throw light on the opportunities prevalent as a geologist.


They include:

Hydrogeologist / hydrologist

Geochemist

Geophysicist / seismologist

Mudlogger

Geoscientist

Wellsite geologist


Do you know the apparent resistivities of common rocks??


Economic geologist

Petrologist

Sedimentologist

Paleontologist

Structural geologist

Paleoclimatologist

Volcanologist

Glacial geologist

Petroleum geologist

Environmental geologist

The list is endless.


Geology is like an ocean of knowledge. It is 100% real. It is not imaginary. It is practical. There is a maxim that says: ‘A geology classroom lecture without a complementing field work is nothing but a geography class’!


Opportunities Abound In the Oil and Gas Sector, Mining Sector / Geohazards, Public / Central Sectors, And Private Sectors.


In as much as you have undergone formal training in the university to obtain a degree (B.Sc, M.Sc, etc in geology), it is still required that you have the necessary industrial experience to keep abreast with modern day challenges and realities on ground. Having an industrial based experience gives you an edge over the other guy that enjoyed only the tutorial in the classroom.

Haystack rock of Cannon Beach, Oregon

credit: I just stumbled upon this rock called Haystack Rock located in the coast of Oregon. It is a popular icon and a tourist centre especially for movie makers. The sea-washed sand on Cannon Beach makes a mirror image of the 235-foot basalt monolith known as Haystack Rock. Further reading... It might interest you to know that at low tide, holes and crags in the stone’s base become tide pools, a primary habitat for numerous sea creatures. At the rock’s high tide level is the abode of the sea birds like bald eagle, tufted puffins, and pelagic cormorants. See Credit Here:

GROUNDWATER POLLUTION (vis-à-vis Groundwater Quality) AND CAUSES

Groundwater in it’s natural state is made up of dissolved substances including gases. These contribute greatly to it’s quality. The surrounding environment (Formations), anthropological and bacterial activities influence it’s quality as well. Below is a rundown of factors that determine the quality of any groundwater: They can be categorised into: 1.    Physical factors; 2.    Bacterial factors; 3.    Chemical factors; 4.    Anthropological factors. Physical factors can be easily seen with the eyes without first being analysed in the laboratory. They are apparent to the physical senses of sight, smell, taste and in some cases, touch. It can be known physically if a groundwater is polluted or not by Colour changes, Odour, presence of suspended materials. The presence of suspended materials make the water appear cloudy. Commonsensically, no sane person will like to consume anything, let alone, water tha...

CAUSES OF WATER BOREHOLE FAILURES IN NIGERIA

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT OIL SHALES BEFORE?? Water is one of the most (if not the most) essential requirements for life existence on earth. It is a well known fact that the human body is made up of about 75% water. Apart from water for drinking, it is relied on for industrial and domestic chores. It is available in the surface and sub-surface. But the surface water is usually not enough and in most cases not available all year round due to seasonal variations namely: Rainy and Dry Seasons . During the Rainy Season, the Surface water becomes readily available (though may or may not be enough depending on the need) but the contrast is the case during Dry Season. Hence the resort to Boreholes . Let’s start by defining a Borehole. In the simplest term, as the name implies: Bore Hole.  It means to ‘ bore a hole’ ; or simply put: ‘to drill a hole’, ‘to sink a hole’, ‘to punch a hole’ on the ground to create a cavity inside the ground where water can accumulate, be sto...
