@@hawk6856 what i mean is, It's hard for Fresh Garaduate or junior Geophysicist(Based on my experience), several Factor: 1. It's a specific major, with little demand on job market itself. 2. Some Companies prefer hiring more experience Geophysicist 3. Some Companies or Department is more familiar with Geology, rather than Geophysic. I am suggesting Geophysic as Post Grad or Doctoral Degree major rather than geting a basic major in University.
"And geologists use a lot of colored pencils" Ahhh that's so exciting to hear as somesone who does colored pencil artwork! 😫 Currently considering a degree in geology myself!
I'm getting my Bsc in Geology this year and I'll start Msc in Geophysics. In my opinion it's a must to know geology as a geophysicist, it helps you visualize structures before getting the result in the lab so you kind of expect what you are going to see.
I've finished my freshman year as a Geology major, and I thought that I would prefer to major in Geophysics as I like to work more with current events (perhaps related to tracking seismology in the petroleum field or relating to hydrologic processes on the environmental side for example). BUT for as long as I can remember, I've disliked math and loved science. I was actually disappointed in my junior high and high school years when science was integrated with math, but I came to see math as a valuable tool and respected it in that sense. Still, the distinction you made here is important to me that Geophysics will be math-heavy compared to Geology, and ofc most important of all, it's easier to get a job as a Geologist! I may reconsider switching to Geophysics and instead search for a job I can get as a Geology major that involves a more hands-on, dynamic perspective of the earth.
I am a graduate in Geology from university of Kerala in India. I got a just pass mark of 35%.I got dishearted then took up a career in aviation. Presently at the age of almost 70 yrs when I look back I really want to study GEOLOGY more seriously and dedicate rest of my life time on that. First of all I want to make sure the possibility. Your video helped me to dare asking for guodence on that. If you don't mind please tell me about it as early as possibe in a reply so that I can decide on my ambition of going back to career in Geolgy. Thanks regards.
8:20... I'm glad you mentioned engineering. So there are geological engineers geophysicists and geologists. And the geophysicist is in the middle. I appreciate the video.
torn between going to pursue on geologist or geophysicist or geoscientist, all of them are good, im just looking for something that suites me well, great video by the way
Pure Physics, worked as Geologist somehow and later pursed Masters in Geophysics. I guess if you do Physics as your undergrad, you can do all sciences and math too for some people
You ROCK! Thanks so much for your videos - between yours and other videos (J. David Rogers PE PhD, Crash Course Chem/Eng series, and Khan Academy), I feel well prepared to pursue a degree in Geological Engineering. So far, I find curiosity and passion are like the cores below the work of the litho- and asthenospheres, which sandwich the mantle of education. Look forward to your next video! :-)
Studying for my associate's in Applied and Exploration Geology...I don't know whether I want to be a Geologist or Geophysicist as yet tho. Your video was insightful. Thank you.
Thank you for this amazing video. Is not always easy to put information together kudos for that. In my opine this will assist many beginners in decision making and also give a guide for specialization. I have Being an analytical person.., and I love Geology. Didn't know any thing about Geophysics during my Secondary School (Nigeria) days (High School). I was admitted into the University to study Geology and i took about 5 geophysics courses as mentioned in your Video. My love for Geophysics was immediately ignited, to me the Geophysics courses were easy to pass and very interesting. After my bachelor's I went for Master's in Geophysics which is quite interesting, though with some challenges but thank God was able to overcome them. I'm looking forward to do PhD in Geophysics. Having Bachelor's in Geology and trying to specialize in Geophysics has done me a lot of good, though people differs but as individual i can count the advantages.
Geologist can become geophysicist, geochemist, geomechanisist, engineering geologist, palaentology, hydrogeology, volcanologist etc etc. If you want to work for oil and gas or want to be specialized in geophysics, then by all mean go for geophysics degree but if you’re still thinking what do you want to do but interested in geoscience, go for geology degree. Am i right? You can always pick up geophysics later cos it’s geologist subset and geology is actually the one that gives you the foundation needed. Making geophysical interpretation without geology is basically null. At the end of the day, the finding needs to be corroborated with other geological data.
Took geology as my major during undergrad, did igneous petrology (xrd, xrf, press pellet, point counting) for my thesis alongside with sedimentary logging and a lot of fieldworks. Also studied earth formation , basic geophysics, organic geochemistry. Pursued petroleum geology and did geochemistry (bitumen, liquid fractionation, gy-ms, kerogen typing) and currently and independently learning geophysic (rock physics, reservoir characterization, inversion) and geomechanics/ pore pressure.

Hello Shy Lama! Congratulations for your channel! I am a geologist from Brazil, Amazon. It is great to connect with other geologists and share experiences. Thanks for your videos!!
Hi Shy, I have gone upto Phd in chemical engineering, but shifted to geophysics in the middle of it, because of strong interest in understanding the geophysics of life. Didn't it ever occur to you that the foremost task of Geoscience specifically (though it applies to all search for knowledge as such, in general) must be to derive the mathematical model, and the formulae for, growth of plants as a function of particle interactions inside the earth that lead to composition of seeds, water and fertilizer, which enable them (plants) to grow? It is obvious that such a process should exist, if we are to give physical explanation, and acquire control over, our own appearance on the surface of the earth. This, composition of beings inside and delivery through plants as food to be assembled by already delivered beings, is a procrss that the earth performs billions of times every single day. Why do we ignore this completely, i.e. to analyze the earth as the only vessel that performs this function in the entire known universe ? I would like to know your (and, of course, anybody else's) view on this, especially as plants remain the only tangible entity that delivers and sustains life (100%) in the entire known universe?

Hey CreativeCat, thank you for your input!!! That is so true 🤣 I have a friend who transitioned into IT world very nicely just because a lot of his skills were transferable from being a geophysicist. Are you a geophysical engineer?
@@CreativeCat333 So good to hear from another Geo!!!! Welcome to the channel. P.S. I absolutely love Golden, have been so many times for geo field courses there. Was hoping to come back this summer with my husband to travel around Colorado but that trip will have to wait now. Hope you are staying safe.
Hi Wiktor, on average (and there might be exceptions to this) but from my own experience and experience of my friends that are geophysicist it is harder to find a job as a geophysicist (at least in Canada). Geophysicist do have options to work in other fields because a lot of their skills are transferable. Several of my friends that are geophysicist pivoted their career and switched to data analysis in IT world. In petroleum industry specifically, companies require less geophysicists than geologists. Geophysicists can cover a larger area and often one geophysicist supports several (5-10) geologists. P.S. Are you a geo or studying to become one?

The contributions from geoscientists in the future will be far greater than ever before. We are realizing that we can't engineer the physical world until we actually understand it. So look for cool jobs with the governments, industry's and academics to increase in the next 5 to 10 years
@@112miecioHello sir, Myself Randheer from India.I have completed Bachelor's in Geology. Now I applied for Masters in Geophysics and applied Geoscience ( Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ) Germany. Which one is best in the perspective of Job...
Geologists study the real physical world, geophysicists model it. Without a geologist in the room when a geophysicist is modeling, stay away from using that model to find real things... Both need to become a geoscientist ultimately
I think this is somewhat misleading. Geophysics is a subdiscipline within the geosciences. So anything a geophysicist does is within a geology framework. Saying a geophysicist is more likely to apply math and modeling is relevant to what other geoscience subdiscipline you're comparing it to. A field geologist with a primary focus in stratigraphy would not be expected to have the same computational or modelling intensive demands as a geophysicist. However, a hydrologist, mineralogist, geochemist, structural geologist, or geomorphologist can have equal if not more computational requirements.
Hi Carlton, thank you for your input. We are talking about the same things just different angles. My emphasis was on the fact that geophysicists in general use different data subset (seismic, gravity, magnetic...etc) and different methodology to process/analyse said data comparing to any geologist. As a rule of thumb, geophysicist do more computational analysis than geologists just due to the nature of the data they are working with. In my experience, even when a geologist has computational requirements for his/her project they are much simpler to that of a geophysicist (off course there are exceptions). To give you an example, my thesis is on meteorite mineralogy. For my research I had a lot of computations done as well as XRD data analysis, but all of the commutations were relatively simple and very different to that of a geophysicist both in difficultly and processing time. Also, very simply put, when graduating from general geology degree a person has a choice to pick a field of geology that requires little math and is more interpretative, where is geophysicist almost always have to work with computations. Hope that clarified things a bit. Again, thank you for commenting, I really value when people actually write thought out responses 💛 P.S. Are you a geo? Always awesome to hear from other geoscientists around the world.
@@ShyLama your viewpoint is fair and understood; however, I'd argue hydrology and geomorphology are heavily computational and model intensive. I understand and agree with your viewpoint that geophysics is computationally grounded. I agree with your comment and your XRD example. For my thermochronology work, the computations and modeling were also straightforward. I just worry about the message the geoscience community sends, both to its participants and outsiders, when we relegate the majority of our own discipline. I am a Geo, my focus is on geoscience education research! Lovely to meet you.
@@carltonmueller9154 It is so good to have another Geo input! I completely agree that there are geology sub-disciplines that are computational heavy. I also agree about being careful on how we portray geoscience and various fields we work in. Before the lock down due to virus I was actually putting together an interview type of videos with geoscientists from different disciplines and backgrounds to talk about their experiences and day to day work to give my subscribers different perspectives on the profession. I am hoping to finish the project once we can be in the same room with others 😅 I find that majority of my subscribers are younger people that either just started University or thinking of going and I get a lot, and i mean A LOT, of DM's saying that they always wanted to do geology or are interested in geoscience but are worried they can't do it because there is too much math and/or physics. I find it very unfortunate and always try to reassure younger people that while there is math and physics in geology it doesn't have to be hard, bringing it to your point that depending on what sub-discipline one chooses difficulty and amount of math/computational analysis varies greatly. By no means do I intentionally relegate parts of geoscience discipline, but I do see your point how generalizing certain aspects can appear that way. When I did my first video about Geology degree last year I though I'd just talk about my experience, I wasn't sure if people would be even remotely interested. I found response to be overwhelming. I had people message me saying that they always thought Geologists look for gold/minerals and work for either oil & gas or mining companies only, they never new that there is so much to geology and that there are so many sub-disciplines within the field. I try to keep my videos light, free of politics and opinions, not too technical (so majority of viewers don't lose interest) but at the same time educational to a degree. It is a hard balance sometimes 🤓 At the same time I am absolutely fascinated by how many people are interested in Geology and would like to know more.
What's your opinion on picking petroleum geology for the masters? I'm doing bachelor's degree in geology from india and from your videos, i got interested in picking it for the masters. But most colleges here don't have it for masters and only few has. Should I take the risk of going for it??? And is it an everlasting industry as we have all heard that the petroleum is not going to be the next era.(a weird question to be asked)😂
What is the differnece between a geogilist and a geophyscist when it comes to islands try running an island i learnt from my life that i dont need a university to tell me what to do i need a cruiseliner to tell me what to do maths has nothing to do with practical life
Myself Randheer from India.I have completed Bachelor's in Geology. Now I applied for Masters in Geophysics ( Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ) Germany. Getting a Job after this masters is possible in German and other European countries... Its scope? Please reply
Duh..! Geography is already an Earth Science. What do u mean by that question? Geography, Geology, Geophysics are all part of Earth Science however the study methodology is different. Geography studies on the both natural and anthropogenic phenomena occuring on the Earth.. Geology studies on the minerals and rocks. The structure and formation of the earth and its interior and such.. Geophysics on the other hand is more of technical and advanced. It involves field studies, bla bla like Geologist but also rigorous data analysis... Hmmm.. just look up yourself 🤣
I was more interpretational but for more job opportunities I decide to do a Msc in Applied Geophysics. Now I am jobless. But I'm changing profession and try to become an engineering geologist.
Geography is the mother of all earth sciences and. Geographer is the doctor of earth because he touch every aspect of the earth matter it's natural as well as human .ok your. Nice video
Geography is more on what is currently happening on the Earth surface. While Geology deals with broader aspects of what is happening on and in the Earth on the past, present and future.
As a geophysics student who loves geology, it can definitely go both ways. Main problem for me is the lack of a background in chemistry, so most of the geochemical processes are lost on me. However I can imagine it's very similar for geologists regarding the physics in geophysics. However the skillsets that people working in both disciplines have are incredibly diverse, and, in my opinion, overlap much more between the two disciplines than set them apart.

Hey CreativeCat, thank you for your input!!! That is so true 🤣 I have a friend who transitioned into IT world very nicely just because a lot of his skills were transferable from being a geophysicist.
Are you a geophysical engineer?
@@ShyLama Yes. I am a senior at the Colorado School of Mines.
@@CreativeCat333 So good to hear from another Geo!!!! Welcome to the channel.
P.S. I absolutely love Golden, have been so many times for geo field courses there. Was hoping to come back this summer with my husband to travel around Colorado but that trip will have to wait now. Hope you are staying safe.
I'm Geophysicist turning into Computer Science.
I'm geophysicist turned into Computer Science
Hey I’m Cornelius can u kindly explain more about the geophysics
are there really not as many jobs as geophysics compared to geologist? I thought more data/calculation type of job would have more job opportunieties
Hi Wiktor, on average (and there might be exceptions to this) but from my own experience and experience of my friends that are geophysicist it is harder to find a job as a geophysicist (at least in Canada). Geophysicist do have options to work in other fields because a lot of their skills are transferable. Several of my friends that are geophysicist pivoted their career and switched to data analysis in IT world.
In petroleum industry specifically, companies require less geophysicists than geologists. Geophysicists can cover a larger area and often one geophysicist supports several (5-10) geologists.
P.S. Are you a geo or studying to become one?

@@ShyLama thanks for repling :) Yes I'm studying bachelor geo sciences in Germany. right now I'm thinking about which direction should I pick. Im thinking about geochemistry/mineralogy/geophysics. Geochemistry seems kind of hard but also interesting
The contributions from geoscientists in the future will be far greater than ever before. We are realizing that we can't engineer the physical world until we actually understand it. So look for cool jobs with the governments, industry's and academics to increase in the next 5 to 10 years
@@112miecioHello sir,
Myself Randheer from India.I have completed Bachelor's in Geology. Now I applied for Masters in Geophysics and applied Geoscience ( Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ) Germany. Which one is best in the perspective of Job...
Geologists study the real physical world, geophysicists model it. Without a geologist in the room when a geophysicist is modeling, stay away from using that model to find real things... Both need to become a geoscientist ultimately
Hey MagmaChem! This is very well put!!! Thank you 💛 Based on content of your channel you are a geo yourself?
@@ShyLama Yes ma'am! We should record a podcast together sometime, it would be really fun and geo's will certainly get a kick out of it!
Thanks for the video
Geophysicist
I think this is somewhat misleading. Geophysics is a subdiscipline within the geosciences. So anything a geophysicist does is within a geology framework. Saying a geophysicist is more likely to apply math and modeling is relevant to what other geoscience subdiscipline you're comparing it to.
A field geologist with a primary focus in stratigraphy would not be expected to have the same computational or modelling intensive demands as a geophysicist. However, a hydrologist, mineralogist, geochemist, structural geologist, or geomorphologist can have equal if not more computational requirements.
Hi Carlton, thank you for your input. We are talking about the same things just different angles. My emphasis was on the fact that geophysicists in general use different data subset (seismic, gravity, magnetic...etc) and different methodology to process/analyse said data comparing to any geologist. As a rule of thumb, geophysicist do more computational analysis than geologists just due to the nature of the data they are working with.
In my experience, even when a geologist has computational requirements for his/her project they are much simpler to that of a geophysicist (off course there are exceptions). To give you an example, my thesis is on meteorite mineralogy. For my research I had a lot of computations done as well as XRD data analysis, but all of the commutations were relatively simple and very different to that of a geophysicist both in difficultly and processing time.
Also, very simply put, when graduating from general geology degree a person has a choice to pick a field of geology that requires little math and is more interpretative, where is geophysicist almost always have to work with computations.
Hope that clarified things a bit.
Again, thank you for commenting, I really value when people actually write thought out responses 💛
P.S. Are you a geo? Always awesome to hear from other geoscientists around the world.
@@ShyLama your viewpoint is fair and understood; however, I'd argue hydrology and geomorphology are heavily computational and model intensive. I understand and agree with your viewpoint that geophysics is computationally grounded. I agree with your comment and your XRD example. For my thermochronology work, the computations and modeling were also straightforward.
I just worry about the message the geoscience community sends, both to its participants and outsiders, when we relegate the majority of our own discipline.
I am a Geo, my focus is on geoscience education research! Lovely to meet you.
@@carltonmueller9154 It is so good to have another Geo input! I completely agree that there are geology sub-disciplines that are computational heavy. I also agree about being careful on how we portray geoscience and various fields we work in.
Before the lock down due to virus I was actually putting together an interview type of videos with geoscientists from different disciplines and backgrounds to talk about their experiences and day to day work to give my subscribers different perspectives on the profession. I am hoping to finish the project once we can be in the same room with others 😅
I find that majority of my subscribers are younger people that either just started University or thinking of going and I get a lot, and i mean A LOT, of DM's saying that they always wanted to do geology or are interested in geoscience but are worried they can't do it because there is too much math and/or physics. I find it very unfortunate and always try to reassure younger people that while there is math and physics in geology it doesn't have to be hard, bringing it to your point that depending on what sub-discipline one chooses difficulty and amount of math/computational analysis varies greatly. By no means do I intentionally relegate parts of geoscience discipline, but I do see your point how generalizing certain aspects can appear that way.
When I did my first video about Geology degree last year I though I'd just talk about my experience, I wasn't sure if people would be even remotely interested. I found response to be overwhelming. I had people message me saying that they always thought Geologists look for gold/minerals and work for either oil & gas or mining companies only, they never new that there is so much to geology and that there are so many sub-disciplines within the field. I try to keep my videos light, free of politics and opinions, not too technical (so majority of viewers don't lose interest) but at the same time educational to a degree. It is a hard balance sometimes 🤓 At the same time I am absolutely fascinated by how many people are interested in Geology and would like to know more.
Wow thanks for the info
I am confused between the difference between , planetary geologist, geophysicist and geologists. Can you help ??
Planetary studies planets outside earth such as our solar system she explains the other two above^
Hello Shy Lama, nice to watch ur video, i have subscribed ur channel, have a nice day.
I'm a geology student
Okey there is mathematical geology
Geophysist
What's your opinion on picking petroleum geology for the masters?
I'm doing bachelor's degree in geology from india and from your videos, i got interested in picking it for the masters. But most colleges here don't have it for masters and only few has. Should I take the risk of going for it???
And is it an everlasting industry as we have all heard that the petroleum is not going to be the next era.(a weird question to be asked)😂

What is the differnece between a geogilist and a geophyscist when it comes to islands try running an island i learnt from my life that i dont need a university to tell me what to do i need a cruiseliner to tell me what to do maths has nothing to do with practical life
Myself Randheer from India.I have completed Bachelor's in Geology. Now I applied for Masters in Geophysics ( Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ) Germany. Getting a Job after this masters is possible in German and other European countries... Its scope? Please reply
Where u did ur bachelor's
i'm geoligist and I'm pursuing a MSc in geophyciscs.
do geologist study the universe also right??
planetary geologists
Geologyst not that much, geophysicists see more of that topic
Geophysicists
Yes geophysics is for me i hate field work math is all i know
Excellent video but there is a bias for geology 😁
You forgot she is a Geologist...😃

you can't be a geologist. sorry
Can a geography student take a degree in earth science?
Duh..! Geography is already an Earth Science.
What do u mean by that question?
Geography, Geology, Geophysics are all part of Earth Science however the study methodology is different.
Geography studies on the both natural and anthropogenic phenomena occuring on the Earth..
Geology studies on the minerals and rocks. The structure and formation of the earth and its interior and such..
Geophysics on the other hand is more of technical and advanced. It involves field studies, bla bla like Geologist but also rigorous data analysis...
Hmmm.. just look up yourself 🤣
I was more interpretational but for more job opportunities I decide to do a Msc in Applied Geophysics. Now I am jobless. But I'm changing profession and try to become an engineering geologist.
kaha se kya tha msc ?
Kaha se kiya bhai Msc Geophysics?
From which university you post graduated??
Geography is the mother of all earth sciences and. Geographer is the doctor of earth because he touch every aspect of the earth matter it's natural as well as human .ok your. Nice video
Thank you!
Geography is more on what is currently happening on the Earth surface. While Geology deals with broader aspects of what is happening on and in the Earth on the past, present and future.
Nice
You are good at geology???

Lol not true
This happens when you don't take your studies seriously. lol
Medam your mail
I choose Geology over Geophysics because A Geologist can have a grasp of Geophysics and it not vice versa.
Huh
As someone who does both, I’d say it’s the opposite.
As a geophysics student who loves geology, it can definitely go both ways. Main problem for me is the lack of a background in chemistry, so most of the geochemical processes are lost on me. However I can imagine it's very similar for geologists regarding the physics in geophysics. However the skillsets that people working in both disciplines have are incredibly diverse, and, in my opinion, overlap much more between the two disciplines than set them apart.
A geologist and she's smoking hot....what a miracle
Ew
