geologist (EN)
ISCO 2114 · v1.2.1
Geologists research the materials that form the earth. Their observations depend on the purpose of the research. Depending on their specialisation, geologists study how the Earth has been shaped over time, its geological layers, the quality of minerals for mining purposes, earthquakes and volcanic activity for private services, and similar phenomena.
Classification skills are not a measurement of your proficiency or future displaced hours.
