Branches that change the job

• Mineral exploration

  Finding new deposits. The most field time, the most travel, and the most job swings with metal prices.

• Mine geology

  Working at one operating mine, mapping and guiding production. Steadier than exploration.

• Petroleum geology

  Oil and gas, concentrated in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Pays at the top of the range and moves with the price of oil.

• Engineering and environmental geology

  Ground conditions for buildings, dams and roads, and contaminated site work. The steadiest branch.
