Working Conditions
Fieldwork
• Exposure to hard weather conditions, such as extreme temperatures, precipitation, or challenging terrain. These factors can contribute to discomfort and physical exertion/strain.
• Field environments may pose hazards like wildlife encounters, challenging topography, or adverse weather events, with severity and frequency varying by project and season.
• Geological core logging can involve lifting of up to 60lbs repetitively and periods of intense concentration and pressure.
Office work
• Generally controlled, but periods of intense concentration and pressure may occur, especially during deadlines.
• Hazards are minimal compared to the field, with potential for discomfort during extended computer work.
