Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing good. I'm a grad student currently tackling my master's thesis, and I've run into a bit of a puzzler with gamma ray logs in Petrel.

Here's the deal: When I import gamma ray logs in CPS/s (counts per second) format into Petrel, they automatically switch to API (American Petroleum Institute) units. But when I compare the curves, they look pretty similar, with the peak values matching up.

It seems Petrel just grabs the log, calls it a gamma ray log, and slaps API on it. But I'm curious if there's a way to tweak the unit settings within Petrel. It seems like all gamma ray logs get tagged as API upon import.

Any of you folks faced this before? Got any tricks up your sleeve to handle it? Can we fiddle with the unit settings in Petrel for gamma-ray logs?

Cheers,

I applied for a geoscientist intern position with aptim and I had an initial interview and he was concerned about me being a new graduate and saying if I found a full time position he would be out an intern for the year and it made me feel bad.

I was planning on accepting a gis specialist position with a groundwater conservation district today but aptim has called my 3 times yesterday and sent me a text today. Should I give them a second interview tomorrow?

Hello I am a junior in undergrad and I am looking for an internship or research program for this summer. Unfortunately I have missed many application deadlines due to not being aware of the typical time frame to apply. I was wondering if anyone knew of any that I could apply for? My focus is in geology and leaning twords structural. If you could let me know I would appreciate it, thank you!

I’m researching geoscience as a career for a college project and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to answer a list of questions real quick.

What do you do most of the time at work? 

⦁ What are the things you enjoy most about your job? What’s most rewarding?

⦁ What are the things you enjoy the least about your job?

⦁ For most people in this job, what are the greatest struggles? Sacrifices? Adversities?

⦁ What are the job opportunities going to be like in your field in the near future?

⦁ What special personality traits does someone really need if they want a job like yours?

⦁ What are some things I should be doing in college to prepare for this career? ⦁ What skills should I be developing?

⦁ What is one thing that you wish you would have known about this career before you entered it?

Hey guys, I know there aren't many active people on this subreddit, but I thought I'd try anyway. I am an undergrad student and have entered a geology and fossils video competition on the Anomalocaris and would appreciate some views on the video as there is a prize for the most viewed. Might not be 100% accurate, but it has been dumbed down a little to suit a high school audience.
Every view counts :)

I appreciate anyone who wants to check it out, so here's the link.

i’m a geosciences student at my university and i get to do a presentation on ANY topic related to geosciences of my choosing. i’m really interested in caves, so i’d like to do something with that, but it has to be more specific. any ideas?? thanks!!!

Hey folks, as the title suggests, I'm interested in hearing about some of the more oddball and interesting career paths those of you with finished degrees have taken. I'm currently about a a year out from getting my degree and have started looking around at what my options are. I've seen a lot of postings for petroleum engineers and mining geologists but was wondering how rare the less traditional options are.

I'm a biologist (PhD etc) and I have been thinking how I know basically nothing of any earth science (always did physical, computational, biology). Are there any good online earth science courses, like what coursera do, that are recommended? I can't seem to find much.

It's just for general interest and fun.

Book suggestions would be great too.

Can any one give me some information about using minerals and geochemistry to define past habitable zone on planets?!

Hello. So I'm a 2nd semester, junior Geosciences major at FAU planning for an internship sometime during this year or my senior year. Probably something to do with Hydrology, since that's the career field I'm currently wanting. However, my last semester had to be online (and probably my next) due to my university having housing shortages (They got greedy with out of state students who pay more) and I'm wondering if I will have the experience required for an internship. I know that geosciences is physical and hands-on so that's where the concern comes from.

So what might you all advise? Somehow get some hands-on? Do internships provide training? Would I be missing any critical experience?

Hello,

I am currently doing my final year in petroleum engineering at university. I was thinking of applying to one of the departments. I want to ask about geoscience for sustainable energy. The second one is renewable energy and clean technology. What can I work as after graduating? Are there opportunities do you think? I also think my background in petroleum engineering might contribute to this. What do you think?

Line-of-Sight Analysis in Digital Elevation Models using Python

Line-of-Sight Analysis in Digital Elevation Models using Python

Hey everyone! I was just looking for a bit of advice. I graduated with my BS in Geoscience with a concentration in GIS in 2018. Due to having to care for a terminally ill family member, I haven’t taken a geoscience position since I graduated since I knew my focus was going to be elsewhere and I needed the hours to fit that. My family member did end up passing recently and I’m now looking to re-entering the geoscience/GIS field. My dream job would be wildlife or natural resources oriented. Most of my senior projects were focused on wildlife and water resource management. I also primarily worked as a vet tech while caring for my family member.

Based on this, what would be the best job titles for me to search for? Also, would it benefit me to get additional certifications and what would those be?

Thank you in advance for your help! I’m excited to be entering the field but it’s a bit daunting after being out for so long.

Thinking of switching my major from psychology to geoscience. I’ve seen many people say there’s not a lot of high paying jobs with it. Is the major hard? And is it really worth it in the end to switch ?

edit: i've finished this project, but keeping this up for others !

Hello!

My name is Mabel and I am an Ecology for Environmental Science major at the University of North Texas working on a project to determine job prospects in my field for a technical writing course. If anyone who is working or has worked in any field within ecology/environmental science would like to answer 5 questions to help me, I would be really grateful.

Here are the questions, feel free to respond as broad or as detailed as you would like.

1. What does your day-to-day look like?
2. What aspects of your job do you like?
3. How much do you work on your own vs. working as part of a team?
4. Is there any special training, beyond getting the degree, that would be helpful?
5. Would you advise someone to go down this career path and why

If all diamond was mined up, everyone on earth would have over 120,000 tons. Is diamond a completely worthless rock? And if so, how do you think it got so expensive?

So I’m a freshman environmental science major at Virginia Tech right now and I’m starting to develop an extreme interest for geophysics, geoscience, and hydrology. I’m super interested in the movement of sediments and water as well as water management and geology. I’ve also been super into looking at maps of rivers with tons of cool data put into them (like river migration, flow rates, ect). I would like to do these things in my professional career no doubt. Will Environmental Science get me into those industries? Or do I need to switch to an engineering major (civil/environmental Eng), or even something like a geology major? I’ve looked at my table of classes and environmental science takes a TON of chemistry, hydrology, geology, and geoscience classes. Switching is extremely difficult and I personally feel like if I just get the envsci degree and get lots of experience with internships and research I shouldn’t have much trouble getting a job in the fields mentioned in the beginning….right? I feel like I have to make a decision ASAP cuz every semester I spend here is costing me a BAG. I’ve talked with my advisors but I’m curious to hear what people on Reddit have to say.

Hello everyone, I will like to make a request to this group for assistance. I am an hydrologist and new to hybrid Modelling and I want to develop a hybrid model(Process-based and data-driven). Does anyone know a particular platform that can help me get started or guide me through it. Thank you very much.

Hello everyone!

This is my first attempt to present at a conference. I don't know if I am overthinking, but I surely do know that there are lots of predatory conferences and scams out there.

This is the conference website http://www.geors.org/index. How do you guys feel about it? The supposed chairman seems to be a professor at UGhent with more than 16k citations and an h-index

I already submitted an abstract and received a notification of acceptance, but I am really conflicted about whether I should proceed with the registration.

What worries me is the following:

1. google has marked the website as not secure
2. I have sent an inquiry through their contact form, to which they replied the next day (usually a good sign), but the email signature mentioned that the conference e-mail is info@geors.org eventhough the conference e-mail mentioned everywhere else is geo@geors.org
3. The submission system seems to be copyrighted at the bottom of the webpage as such: © 2023 - Bosen Academic Research Institute. It looks like a company or something in Hong Kong.
4. and finally payment through paypal is recommended (but not limited to) to be in in Hong Kong dollar(HKD), even though they have the option for a bank transfer as well.

I would love to hear your opinions on this. Thanks for your help!
