Geology Definition
Geology is the study of the Earth, the materials of which it is made, the structure of those materials, and the processes acting upon them.
Some of them include material organism which have inhabited our planet.
The important to study in geology must followed the latest news about this teory of geology science because the study of structures, materials, processes, organisme, materials, and tectonics have changed over time following the developing of the electronical instrumental for collecting earth data (which mean hitech-instumental) and hitech modeling researches in laboratory.
Geologist Works
A Geologists learns and researchs to understand the history of our planet Earth (Geo). The better they can understand Earth’s history the better they can foresee how events and processes of the past might influence the future (The past is the key to the future Earth). In word in geologic law “The Present is the key to the past” .Here are some examples:
Geologists study earth processes: Many processes such as orogeneis (mountain forming process such collision and subduction which put up plate higher and form mountain row), landslides (land movement), earthquakes, floods and volcanic eruptions can be hazardous and harm people.
Geologists try to understand these processes well enough to avoid building important structures where they might be damaged including classifying zone of disaster to make amap guide of disaster zone. It will help many City and Area Planning for the future.
Geologists study earth materials: earth materials are used by people every day. They use oil , metals from mines, and water from underground. Geologists studies to locate rocks that contain important metals, plan the mines that produce them and Which methods more economic in used to remove the metals from the rocks. Of course this work including how to locate and produce oil, natural gas and ground water.
Geologists study earth history:
Study Earth History to learn and form a perfect teory of many schene structure which present shows us. Ofcourse the teory must proved with hight technology modeling to learned and proved the teory of the geology history. Many model such as real miniature modeling (including scalar component) and digital 3d modeling with data parameter helps to form the global of earth history, which is formed by many geology regional phenomenon.
Today geologist are concerned about climate change. Many geologists are working to learn about the past climates of earth and how they have changed across time which is connected with the earth outer core movement. This information is valuable to understand how our current climate is changing and what the results might be.
Geology as a Career:
To be a Geologist is a very interesting and rewarding career. Of course need four year training tobe a four-year college degree in geology. Pre-college students who are interested in becoming geologists should take a full curriculum of college preparatory courses, especially those in math, science, and writing. Courses related to computers, geography and communication are also valuable knowledge to be collected.
There are variety work and project need geologist, include: government planning agencies, natural resource companies, environmental consulting companies, government resources administration, non-profit organizations, and universities. For Geologists do a field work only part of the time after field the data and sample will be processed in laboratories, classrooms or offices. All geologists reports, do calculations, technic modeling and use computers.
Although a bachelor's degree is required for entry level employment,
many geologists earn master's and/or doctorate degrees to take a speciallity in geology science.A higher level of training, often in a geology specialty area such as paleontology, mineralogy, hydrology or volcanology. Advanced degrees will often qualify to be the geologist for supervisory positions, research assignments or teaching positions at the university level.
opportunities for geologists are very good if they are willing to move to a location where work is available.
Salary of Geologist
In Present day, Salary of geologist have recently ranged from $50,000 to $100,000 per year according to their experiences.
You Become a Geologist
If you are a pre-college student who’s willing to become a geologist, can prepare to become a geologist by doing well in all of your courses. Especially earth science and training is important, but other disciplines such as math, writing, language are used by every geologist during they everyday work.
Get in touch with the geology department, let them know you are interested and make arrangements to visit the campus. Don't be hesitant. Good schools and professors want to be contacted by interested students.
One of Oldest Geology Campus in Indonesia is Geology Departement in ITB (Institute Technology of Bandung / Bandung Institute of Technology) in Bandung City, West Java
