The role
What a geophysicist actually does, day to day.
As a geophysicist, you study the structure and forces deep inside the Earth. You use special equipment to measure things like sound waves and magnetic fields that tell you what is happening underground - whether there is oil or minerals, whether rocks are weak and might cause earthquakes, or where geothermal energy can be found.
Some days you will be out in the field with equipment, collecting measurements. Other days you will be in the office studying the data with computers, creating maps and models of what is under the ground. You work with geologists, engineers and environmental scientists to explore safely and responsibly. The job is part detective work, part engineering and part maths.
