Geochemist Courses
Geochemists are scientific professionals who have extensive knowledge of (both) chemistry and the earth sciences. They study the chemical structure of rocks and minerals and use their skills and knowledge to improve water and air quality, locate fossil fuels, improve agricultural and mining processes, and advise the government on conservation and waste management best practices.
As a Geochemist you could be collecting rock samples using drill-hole techniques from a proposed mining site, conducting a geochemical soil analysis for a government agency, tracking chemical elements in groundwater, supervising the entry of field data into a database, writing a report based on your fieldwork and laboratory tests, or attending an international conference for Geochemists and geoscience professionals.
Geochemists spend a lot of time outdoors, collecting field samples, analysing terrain, and running tests. To succeed you’ll need to be physically fit and willing to travel to remote, regional, and (very often) rugged locations.
