MSc in Structural Geology and Geophysics

I am working in Australia as a Structural Consultant for the metals industry. As part of the management team my day to day tasks vary considerably, with a very agreeable mix between field work and office based work. The job involves lots of travelling, to different parts of Australia and around the globe. Some examples of recent work I have been undertaking includes the collection and interpretation of structural data from existing mine sites as well as exploration targets, due diligence of a possible tenement acquisition and giving mining and exploration companies recommendations on future exploration targets using my structural geology knowledge of the relevant region. My MSc in Structural Geology with Geophysics has given me knowledge and skills that I can apply directly to my work on a daily basis, from the interpretation of structural styles to learning about the application of geomechanics in structural geology. This is the industry to move into if you’re a hands-on structural geologist, enjoy spending time in the field and you’re keen to catch some rays!
