Careers in the Geosciences
A career as a professional geoscientist with a petroleum or mineral exploration and production company can be very rewarding intellectually and financially; expose one to leading edge technologies; involve international travel and perhaps temporary overseas residency and involvement in projects that may cost billions of dollars to complete. It can also be very exciting and fun. Ammonite Resources and our associates actively serve as mentors to students and enjoy sharing our experiences with them.
American Geosciences Institute
One of the most informational websites about careers in the many geoscience sub-disciplines is
