  1. A CAREER IN THE = A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES! OPEN A DOOR TO FIND OUT… WHAT IS EARTH SCIENCE? WHAT DO I NEED? WHAT CAN I BE? WHERE CAN I LEARN? HOW MUCH CAN I MAKE? WHAT’S IT LIKE? EARTH SCIENCES Ever wondered how mountains grow, why earthquakes happen, or where to find gold and oil? Ever wanted to travel the world, learn about how our planet ticks, and get involved in something that makes a difference? Then YOU should consider a career in the EARTH SCIENCES!

  2. HOMEPAGE WHAT IS EARTH SCIENCE? WHERE CAN I LEARN? WHAT CAN I BE? HOW MUCH CAN I MAKE? WHAT’S IT LIKE? WHAT DO I NEED? OPPORTUNITY’S A KNOCKIN’ OPEN A DOOR TO FIND OUT…

  3. WHAT IS EARTH SCIENCE? Door #1

  4. Look around you right now. The computeryou are using, the building you are in, the weather outside, the air you are breathing, the transportationyou took today, the food you ate this morning… they are all connected to earth science . That’s because earth science is the study of the Earth and all its materials! It aims to understand the planet’s many different systems; what it produces and reworks; and how humans are connected to its natural resources. Earth Scientists are the people that study all of this and more! They work to solve the puzzles of the planet – they are detectives of our world and our connection to it.

  5. You can work in a lab, outside, or in the office! There are lots of jobs in all kinds of fields! There is lots of money to be made! You meet amazing people! You learn so much about our world! There’s equal opportunity for everyone! You get to travel! Door #1 - example WHY STUDY EARTH SCIENCE?

  6. WHAT DO I NEED? Door #2

  7. ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR EDUCATION, YOU’RE ON YOUR WAY! Grade 12 physics Grade 12 math and science Sense of adventure A love of the outdoors Ability to communicate Creativity Computer skills A team player Grade 12 English Pack your survival skills for a journey to success… Door #2 - What do I need?

  8. Now you’re ready to go! Door #2 - What Do I Need?

  9. WHAT CAN I BE? Door #3

  10. STOP! Cannot pass without an education Which path will you choose? Door #3 - What Can I Be?

  11. Education & Outreach Environmental Industry Minerals & Mining Industry Petroleum Industry Government Geotechnical Door #3 - What Can I Be?

  12. Aerial Photographers take successive photographs from helicopters & small airplanes to study three-dimensional topography, which allows geological structures, geomorphology, vegetation, and more to be assessed.  Economic/Exploration geologists explore for and develop metallic and nonmetallic resources. They study mineral deposits (gold, diamonds, copper, etc.) and find environmentally safe ways to dispose of waste materials from mining activities.  Stratigraphers investigate the time and space relationships of rocks, on a local, regional, and global scale throughout geologic time. They focus on the fossil and mineral content of layered sedimentary rocks.  Door #3 - What Can I Be? A-Z list of jobs Symbols: Field work =Travel involved = Office work =  Lab work =

  17. WHAT’S IT LIKE? Door #6

  18. What’s it like? A day in the life of… • personal profiles of geoscientists across Canada (written accounts, video interviews?, links to websites) • a typical work week; challenges and perks • photographs of real people at work in all conditions • equal opportunity in all levels of industry • local and global work opportunities

  19. Other content: • A list of all contributors (financial, photographs, content, etc.); • “Did you know?” pop-ups with fascinating geoscience facts. Examples: • Links to existing career websites and educational resources for teachers and students; DID YOU KNOW… Tsunami waves can travel across the ocean as fast as 320 km/hour! DID YOU KNOW… Canada is the world’s 5th leading producer of gold! DID YOU KNOW… India is moving towards Asia at a rate of 4-6 cm every year, thanks to plate tectonics!
