mineralogist (EN)
ISCO 2114 · v1.2.1
Mineralogists study the composition, structure and other physical aspects of the earth. They analyse various minerals and use scientific equipment to determine their structure and properties. Their work mostly focuses on the classification and identification of minerals by taking samples and performing further tests, analysis and examinations.
Classification skills are not a measurement of your proficiency or future displaced hours.
