Seismologist

A Seismologist studies earthquakes and seismic waves to understand the Earth's internal structure and to assess seismic risks. You might work in research institutions, government agencies, or private companies. Seismologists analyse seismic data, monitor earthquake activity, and develop models to predict future seismic events. You'll conduct field studies, use specialised equipment to collect data, and interpret findings to enhance public safety and contribute to disaster preparedness.

Seismologists play a crucial role in understanding and mitigating the impact of earthquakes. You’ll need to be detail-oriented and analytical, with strong problem-solving skills. Collaboration with other scientists and communication of complex findings to the public and policymakers is essential in your role.
