Geophysicists study the Earth's physical properties using methods like seismic reflection and gravity surveys. They analyze data to understand subsurface structures, which is crucial for oil and gas exploration, mineral exploration, and environmental studies. A strong background in physics and mathematics is essential.

• Skills Required: Seismic data processing, geophysical modeling, data interpretation, GIS software, programming (Python, MATLAB).
• Job Outlook: Good, with opportunities in energy companies, environmental consulting firms, and research institutions.
