• Geophysics involves the study of the inaccessible Earth using physical measurements the interpretation of these measurements in terms of subsurface structures and phenomena. A geophysicist is a scientist who applies the principles of physics to the study of the Earth. Graduates can work in the resource and environmental industries, where most geophysicists are employed.
  • Geophysics is often seen as a distinct discipline, particularly in the mining and exploration industries. Graduates who are clearly geophysicists have an advantage when seeking work with such companies.
