Studying geophysics

A geophysics degree is great preparation for a career in scientific research, consultancy, or engineering. Geophysicists use applied science to better understand the structure and processes of the Earth and other planets. Frequently studied topics include seismic energy, electromagnetic fields, mineral exploration, geothermal energy, and environmental assessment methods, and at postgraduate level students have the opportunity to delve further into topics of interest which may include geothermal imaging or advanced seismology. Potential careers include geophysicist, seismic data analyst, hydrologist, or geotechnical engineer, and there are many jobs surrounding the prediction of natural hazards and developing sustainable resource management.
