After graduation, students majoring in this major can engage in engineering design, management, construction organization and related scientific research, and can also develop in the following aspects: 1) exploration, development and environmental protection of national resources and energy (petroleum, metallurgy, coal, nonferrous metals and building materials); 2) Urban construction, highway traffic, railway and subway, port, water conservancy and hydropower construction; 3) national defense; 4) Monitoring and prevention of geological disasters.
What is the employment prospect of geology major?
In the future, the scope and field of geological observation and research will be expanded day by day. In space, we can not only go deep into the lithosphere by direct or indirect methods, but also learn more about the geological characteristics of the moon, some planets in the solar system and their satellites.
The development of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy and other disciplines and the further penetration of geology, the application of advanced technology in geological work, combined with fine and in-depth field geological work, will make it possible for people to make scientific explanations on more geological phenomena and laws and conduct more in-depth essential research.
In short, geology must strengthen basic research, such as mineralogy, petrology, stratigraphy, paleontology and other basic disciplines, in order to improve the understanding of various geological bodies and geological phenomena and their formation and evolution. At the same time, we should fully absorb and make use of the new achievements of other science and technology, including the research achievements of social science, and have a more comprehensive and essential understanding of the history and structure of the earth, so as to make due contributions to the development of science, the more rational and effective development and utilization of the earth's resources, and the maintenance of human living environment.
