What is the difference between GEOLOGIST & GEOPHYSICIST? 

Geophysicist, is hard today

@@deltarampock5978 why ?

@@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.

@@deltarampock5978 I completely agree with you!

B.Sc in Geophysics, M.Eng in Geology.... ru-vid.commy_videos

and pi = 3

I was going to say this hahaha Engineer here, we estimate everything

Did you got into college ???

Man I'm a sophmore with a major in Geology, there's too many choices.. I like everything.

eaanthony13@yahoo.com

yesss, I totally agree with that. You must know the geology of your studying area before a survey. Good luck in your master. :)

How to became a geologist? qualification?

If math is not an absolutel passion, you made a very VERY wise choice.

It’s definitely easier to get a job as a geophysicist. Both are pretty awesome tho statistically!

Recently I have done BS in physics so, can I take admission in geophysics for Masters ?

@@sajidali-nz2ww I think yes. It's possible

Sir Please mention about the job market after took a masters in Geophysics in Europen Countries especially in Germany.

Thank you very much!

hey I'm now perusing my geophysics BScs, i will like to knw hw u made it through with the course.

Hahaha. Physics is awesome, you can literally do anything

Nice man going for the same path

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. For the latters, you need geology to fully understand them . geoscience rocks!

I haven't done physics in high school but I have done geography can I done geophysics at the university

@@ardinharminarmin9229 were you from science stream? I dont think you can take geology if you dont do physics in highschool.

@@jaxcgerard and if I have geography and chemistry

@@ardinharminarmin9229 yes chemistry is required for Geology. Geography is also helpful. However, if you want to do geophysics, you need either Math or physics.

Woah how is it?

I also studied Geophysics in China University of Geoscience (Wuhan). Now working for Geophysics company.

Hello bro I’m also thinking about doing masters in geophysics, can you help me by telling your views

no! they will brainwash your little pea sized brain!

america first!

From where you studing geophysics

@@Sandeep_barsiwal from Spain!

I have recently completed BS physics so can I take admission in geophysics for masters?

Goodd

How is it? I’m from Malaysia?

Hello sir, 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?

take geophysics .

Do both and be a superstar

You don’t necessarily just need physics to be a geologist you need a physical science. Examples are physics (obviously) chemistry, computer science ect. So long as you have done either a physical science or maths alongside geography you should be fine

Planetary studies planets outside earth such as our solar system she explains the other two above^

Are you a Geophysicist?

@@sarthakpapney3125 yes

In which country you are a Geophysicist? I am doing my Masters in Geophysics can you give some advice to me about how to become a Geophysicist in industry? Please

@@komalgupta7172 Bsc.Geology sir

@@sayoojdevan4435 are you going to do msc in geology? Is it has scope in India.

@@komalgupta7172 yes..I hope so

@@sayoojdevan4435 i am going to do msc in either geology or chemistry which will be good for future?

@@komalgupta7172 I don't know mate..I'm a geology student, that's why I'm choosing geology for the masters

Thank you so much. I am very happy that you liked the video. 💛💛💛

Where u did ur bachelor's

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...

planetary geologists

Geologyst not that much, geophysicists see more of that topic

Geophysicists

@@somdarshanatre1457 8469439005....leave a hi bro

@@somdarshanatre1457 bhai mai bhi

I am considering to join IIT Bombay for geophysics. How is it?

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 🤣

you can't be a geologist. sorry

Okey there is mathematical geology

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

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.

You forgot she is a Geologist...😃

@@chidiawa9040 i know 👍👍👍

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!

Он самый 😏

Ого, а я думал, что мне показалось)

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.

kaha se kya tha msc ?

Kaha se kiya bhai Msc Geophysics?

From which university you post graduated??

Lol not true

This happens when you don't take your studies seriously. lol

I disagree

Huh

As someone who does both, I’d say it’s the opposite.

Hey, can we be friends? I’m a student of geology
