Careers exploring volcanoes, earthquakes, and more

Want to sail the world to measure seismic activity at the bottom of the ocean? Detect fault zones and protect people from earthquakes and tsunamis? Or just geek out over cool rocks and the inner workings of our planet? A career in geology may be just the thing!

Join us as we talk with three people with very different jobs—all in geology—about how they got into the field and where their careers are taking them.
