Geophysicist

Description

Geophysicists are scientists who study the earth and its properties, structure and composition using seismic, gravitational, magnetic and electrical methods. They may be involved primarily in field activities such as conducting on-site investigations and data gathering, or focus on theoretical aspects, such as computation and modelling based on gathered data.
