A third installment (March 2024) of what it is like to be a field geologist working in the high Andes of Argentina. This time, the team takes a multi-day backpacking trip into an undisclosed location to measure a stratigraphic section and conduct detailed sedimentology with the broader goal of unraveling the history of Andean mountain building in this region. Caden Howlett and Chance Ronemus were joined for a few weeks this season by friend and colleague Veleda Muller, a new post doc at the University of Arizona. It is my hope that sharing this video inspires young people to become geologists and get a glimpse into how we think about the Earth as an interconnected series of parts rather than numerous isolated elements.
As always, please feel free to leave comments or questions in the comments.

Been in industry for about 12 years now. Going back to school for a PhD. I miss this type of fieldwork.

@cadenhowlett 2 месяца назад

excellent - I bet your industry experience will be super valuable as you work thru the PhD. Good luck fly high

Sick video dude!! Keep em coming looks like yall had a blast. From one geologist who's been in industry now for over a decade, I truly miss stuff like this!

As an undergrad this really motivates me to actively pursue a career in earth sciences

so kind - exactly what I'm hoping for

What a great video Caden!! Awesome as always brother. As an undergraduate it was really cool to see a lot of concepts that I am studying rn being shown on a real life example. All about the sedimentology, conglomerates, ignimbrites, the V rule (as we call it here haha), the lapilli, it was so well presented and interesting! I hope some day I'll have the prestige of working in some project with you! Keep doing this good work with this awesome vibe you have, hugs from Brazil Caden

Thanks Arthur - always appreciate your support and words. Keep learning about those conglomerates :) un abrazo

Hey Caden, I am going to study Geosiences in Germany this October and I`d love to know if it`s hard to get into your area of work, because what you do really motivates me to get into a job like that!

@cadenhowlett 2 месяца назад

Hey - that is great that you are going into geoscience! The opportunity to do field work sometimes depends on the faculty at the university you are at. I recommend asking professors and others around the geoscience department if they are actively doing field work, and if you want to join, as if they need help with anything! Doing big international expeditions like this usually takes some time and experience to make happen - but getting exposed to field work is the way to start. It is definitely hard to get into competitive schools like UArizona (or other international equivalents like ETH Zurich or Potsdam) but if you get experience and network you can definitely get there. Have fun :)

Intro goes hard, someone book him for Coachella.

@cadenhowlett 2 месяца назад

book me as a speaker and i'll give a science talk lol

THANKS my friend

@seloyildirim8830 Месяц назад

I love watching your days in the life videos and think that working like this could be dream come true for me. Do i have any chance to do mostly field work as a Geologist currently living in Germany? How competetive are these careers? I've heard work like cartography and prospecting for resource deposits are such carrers. Are such field geologists going to remain relevant in the near future? Thank you in advance!

quick question !! if i move a huge rock where water spring is born , will i hurt it?? how can i make it year around

@CaioTully 2 месяца назад

really cool video!!! I'm headed to university next year to study geoscience and really looking forward to it. Just wondering what is the purpose of doing this other than general mapping and if there are a lot of opportunities to get paid to do field geology like this?

@cadenhowlett 2 месяца назад

Hey - thanks. Great to hear ur going into GEOS!! There are many aspects of field work that all serve important roles in testing specific hypotheses. We are interested in questions of tectonic significance, so alongside mapping and figuring out which rocks are where, we also do our best to constrain the timing and rates of tectonic processes. e.g., "Okay so these rocks are distributed in these places...how old are they, what processes formed them, how to they relate to adjacent rocks, what structures are responsible for bringing them to the surface, how do all these aspects fit into the context of Andean mountain building and the huge subduction system offshore of Chile? That's a lot but we are interested in a lot of different things. We sample rocks, map, measure, hammer, ponder. Lol. If you go to graduate school you are technically "paid" to do field work if you have a grant/project funding it. Research lends itself to field work. But of course there are non-academic jobs with the USGS etc that would enable you to conduct field work and be paid for it.
