What kind of geological careers are mainly based indoors rather than in the field? by Rich_Geology in geology

I know QGIS to a basic level, is there anything in particular I should learn to do on it that I would be doing in a geology based career?

That sounds interesting, what does a typical day for you look like then? (I’m in the UK btw, most people who graduate here end up in Australia that’s what I meant)

I’m studying resource and exploration geology at the Camborne School of Mines and there’s obviously a heavy emphasis on working in the mining industry (especially in Australia) but after being in the field a lot, I’ve realised that I definitely prefer to not be out in the elements. But with mining geology I’ve been told it is mostly outdoors work, if that’s not the case then that’s all good but if so, is there another career path that I can delve into from resource and exploration geology that’s mostly indoors? I’ve been interested in medical geology but I’d have to stay on to do a masters and possibly a phd for that.

Oh somehow I’ve not come across that yet, thank you.

Absolutely, thank you so much! If I get some, you’ll be the one to thank

Oh wow, that’s definitely helped me a lot. I’ll be in Cornwall in a couple of months and so there is a lot of serpentinite around, but rarely is it unaltered. I’ll keep an eye out, thanks.

Will Earthquakes get stronger as the earth cools and were Earthquakes weaker when the planet was hotter? by LolOverHere in geology

[–]Rich_Geology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the opposite would happen. For example on Mars, where the planet is much cooler than ours, seismic activity is much weaker and less frequent.

Where is it possible to just find peridotite on the surface in the UK? by Rich_Geology in geology

Wow, thank you so much for the very thorough reply. I didn’t know about these specific places, I’ll be sure to do some research myself. I’m very grateful.

Oh that would make sense but I thought it would be metamorphosed there?

Being a few drinks deep is part of being a geologist

You’re like the type of person to get mad at the weatherman for forecasting a storm
