Hi

Geology is that branch of science that deals with the study of the earth, its environment, history, minerals etc. Now a day, career in Geology is gaining lot more popularity.

Different branches of Geology are structural geology, mineralogy, planetology, geomorphology, geological engineering etc


To start a career in Geology, one should complete at least a masters in Geology such as M.A. or M. Sc. in Geology. With bachelors degree who can have some entry level positions. The people studying geology can work as Geologists, Meteorologists, Geographers or Oceanographers.The person having degree in geology can pursue a career in Petrology, Paleontology, Geophysics, Mining, Environmental Education, Research and Field Study.

UPSC conducts exam for jobs in central govt agencies.There are lot of jobs in education sector.

All the best

Hello,

You can go for M.Sc. after B.Sc. I think this is the best option for you.

To get admission in M.Sc. course, you have to first appear in an entrance exam. The most popular entrance exam is IIT JAM (Joint Admission test for M.Sc.).

Below are the best entrance exams other than IIT JAM through which you can get admission to MSc course.

  1. National Entrance Screening Test (NEST)
  2. MCAER CET
  3. GSAT (GITAM Science Admission Test)
  4. OUAT Entrance Exam

But you should first satisfy all the eligibility criteria required to appear in these exams.

Best of Luck!

Fields and Subdivisions in Geology

There are many fields of geology beyond exploration and mining. Some of the main branches are:

Environmental Geology: Focuses on the interaction between humans and the Earth. Jobs here include environmental impact assessment, land-use planning, waste management, and groundwater protection.

Hydrogeology: Involves the study of groundwater systems. Hydrogeologists often work in water resource management, assessing the quality and distribution of water, or preventing contamination of water supplies.

Engineering Geology: Works alongside civil engineers to assess the geological factors involved in construction. This field deals with landslide risks, foundation stability, and other natural hazards.

Paleontology: The study of fossils and ancient life forms. Paleontologists work in museums, universities, or research institutions.

Geochemistry: Involves studying the chemical composition of Earth materials like rocks, soils, and water. Geochemists often work in labs or with environmental agencies to monitor pollution, contaminants, and natural resources.

Geophysics: Uses physical methods like seismic waves, gravity, and magnetism to study the Earth's interior. Geophysicists often work in hazard assessment (earthquakes, volcanoes) or with environmental issues.

Volcanology: Focuses on studying volcanic activity, monitoring volcanoes, and assessing risks to nearby populations.

Seismology: Specializes in studying earthquakes and the structure of the Earth through seismic waves.

Climate Geology: Studies past and present climate patterns using geological records. This can include analyzing ice cores, sediment layers, and tree rings to understand climate changes.
