  1. (OPEERA) Outline for Talk • Open – Gain attention w/ Calvin cartoon. Slide 2 (2 min) • Prior Knowledge - What geophysics careers do you know about? Slide 3 (5 min) • Explore – Skills/Interests Slide 4 (5 min) • Explain – Geophysics Overview, Personal Career Path, Employment Outlook. Slides 4 - 10 (15 min) • Reflect – Research Talk: Applying physics concepts and skills to studying Earth (30 min) • Apply – Exploring GEOphysics further. Slide 12 & 13. (5 minutes) • Q&A

  2. Thinking outside the box: (geo)Physicsas acareer option Speaker Name, Position at Institution

  3. Let’s get started • Question 1: • What geophysics careers do you know about? • Question 2: • What geophysics subjects are you interested in? • What geophysics skills do you already possess? • Question 3: • What are your other interests? • What other skills do you possess?

  4. Geophysicists ADD FIELDWORK IMAGE OF YOURSELF Measure, examine, model, and explore the physical properties of Earth and other planetary objects, from the depths of the ocean to the tops of volcanoes, from Earth’s core to the edges of space and beyond. ADD IMAGE OF YOURSELF WORKING AT COMPUTER OR PRESENTING AT CONFERENCE ETC.

  5. Geophysics specialties • Seismologist - study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through Earth or through other planet-like bodies. • Geodesist – study earth’s shape, gravity field, and rotation • Marine geophysicist • Petroleum geophysicist • Mining geophysicist • Environmental geophysicist • Exploration geophysicist Data used…. • Active seismic • Electrical resistivity • Electromagnetics • GPS • Gravity • Infrasound • Magnetics • Passive seismic

  6. How I came to geophysics… Personal Critical Incidents (CI) – Specific events that led you to make choices or changes in Behavior. Supportive CI confirm decision to pursue degree in geophysics. Behavior Altering CI induce behavioral change. These experiences led students to geophysics. PAST Current or near future goals you are working towards. FUTURE ADD YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE Career Choices – What career will allow you to pursue in the future Expected career attributes

  7. Well-positioned for a GEOphysics career...

  8. Attrition, Growth and Replacementin the next 10 years in the U.S. • 262,627 geoscience jobs exist today • ~130,000 geoscientists expected to retire • 72,000geoscience jobs createdby 2021 (BLS) • 15,000totalnew graduates (MS or PhD) • 45,000totalnew graduates if hiring BS/BA Geoscience Grads Continuing on to Geoscience Careers OR Bachelor’s: 30% Master’s: 43% Doctorate: 66% • Net deficit of over 150,000geoscientists by 2021

  9. Well-paying career options with or without a PhD Physicist Geologist (GEOphysicist) • $105,430 (2010 Median) • Entry degree = PhD • Job outlook = 14% by 2020 (~ average) • $82,500 (2010 Median) • Entry degree = B.S (M.S) • Job outlook = 21% by 2020 (faster than average) Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics

  10. Electrical Engineer Geologist (GEOphysicist) • $87,180 (2010 Median) • Entry degree = B.S • Job outlook = 6% by 2020 (slower than average) • $82,500 (2010 Median) • Entry degree = B.S (M.S) • Job outlook = 21% by 2020 (faster than average)

  11. Civil Engineer Geologist (GEOphysicist) • $77,560 (2010 Median) • Entry degree = B.S • Job outlook = 19% (slightly above average) • $82,500 (2010 Median) • Entry degree = B.S (M.S) • Job outlook = 21% by 2020 (faster than average)

  12. INSERT RESEARCH TALK HERE EMPHASIZING WHERE PHYSICS CONCEPTS/SKILLS APPLY

  13. Exploring (GEO)physics further • Attend Geoscience colloquium – ADD DETAILS FOR TALKS ON CAMPUS OR NEARBY • Take an elective from the Geoscience Dept. • E.g. ADD GEO COURSE or TWO OFFERED ON CAMPUS • Participate in a summer internship experience! • IRIS Undergraduate Internships in Seismology • UNAVCO’s Research Experiences in Solid Earth Sciences (RESESS)

  14. Internship Opportunities IRIS • Flexible length - 9 to 14 weeks research placements • Single year only • Participants distributed both within the US and abroad • Virtual communication among cohort emphasized • Research projects include all specialties within seismology • Travel and weekly stipend • Full funding to present research at the Fall AGU conference in San Francisco, CA • Multi-summer diversity-focused • 11 weeks research placement/summer • First year interns located in Boulder, CO (2nd-4th year interns anywhere) • Research projects include a variety of solid Earth science topics • Travel, lodging, and competitive monthly salary • Academic year support: • Scholarships • GRE test fees • Funding for conference attendance • Graduate school application assistance Deadline for both programs is February 1, 2014
