A liking for science, and a passion towards technology enabled me to choose Earth Science as a profession. From a very younger age I became very passionate about the day to day marvels of science happened around this curiosity of mine eventually was discovered by my teachers and to have a better understanding on every day science I took science subjects in my O and A levels.
My bachelor degree in Applied Geology led me to acquire a strong background of concepts such as structural Geology, Basics of Geophysics, Exploration Geophysics, Physics of the Earth and Petroleum geology. With extensive research and discussions with my professors and professionals linked with oil and gas industry, I chose Geophysics as my area of interest for my graduation.
I was then recruited by BGP International (one of the major Geological and Geophysical servicing company) as a Seismic Data Processing Geophysicist in 2009. The job required me to travel extensively across Pakistan as well as abroad and I provided project management solutions to large-scale EPC projects ranging up-to US$ 100 million. This en...
remains in highest regards among seismologists, engineers and geologists. It is said to be a
When my first grade teacher asked me what I wanted to be in the future I told her, “I want to be a doctor.” My answer stayed exactly the same when my eleventh grade English teacher asked the question. Ever since I was little science has always captured my interest. I was fascinated by the way our body worked and how everything had an explanation behind it.
I have always been fascinated with science-oriented interests. I remember being young and intrigued by the complexity of the human body. As I grew, puzzles and critical thinking became essential to my learning process.
As a child in middle school, I started thrusting myself in my academic career. I joined Science Olympiad, in which students compete in different sciences. I competed in events such as astronomy or anatomy and from this point on the passion for science grew. When I entered high school, I continued my career with Science Olympiad, but decided I needed to broaden my perspective. There had to be more than science olympiad, a whole new field that would let me practice and see science working at one of it's best.
Observing my growing interest in horses, my mother purchased books on veterinary medicine and I studied them with enthusiasm. Science became my favorite subject. I developed a love for learning about science including everything from environmental studies, to genetics, to anatomy, to astronomy,
Since high school, science has always been a subject of interest to me. Everything in the universe occurs for a reason and I believe science explains all these reasons. Besides this, science is all about the facts and this is why science has never fails to fascinate me. And nursing is more about science, which is why I have developed profound interest in this subject. I love the human biology, human physiology to be precise. I have always been intensely inquisitive in learning about the organs of the human body and have always wondered how they
For my science career I chose a meteorologist. I have always found it interesting to watch the weather section of the news; it is usually the only part of the news I watch. I have also been interested in the job of news anchors. This choice was perfect as while because a family friends of mine is a meteorologist for Kare 11.
Geology relates to my major, which is communication, because geologists have to accurately communicate geological information carefully using verbal and nonverbal methods. Communication involves the exchange of information, as well as connections and interactions between people. Communication can be written or oral. In fact, communication is a vital part to the continuous evolution of society. Geologists have to convey the correct messages.
When deciding on what career best suited me, I found myself considering my role as a global citizen. As an inhabitant of this earth, I felt that it was my duty to advocate for its protection. I therefore decided to study Environmental Engineering. By generating ways for humans to creatively coexist with our environment I will be helping to create a more sustainable world as a whole. Similarly, this idea of making decisions based on the needs of my community has been prevalent throughout my life. I have participated in many volunteer groups including National Honor Society along with lending my knowledge to those who require help through tutoring and in-class aid. I plan on continuing to take an active leadership role in my community through a profession in environmental engineering and strong sense of environmental stewardship.
Ever since middle school science class I have been enamored with all things science. Every career path I’ve considered pursuing was in some scientific field, forensic technician, pharmacist, osteologist, anesthesiologist, and currently a geneticist. Having taken accelerated science programs such as honors physical science, honors biology, AP biology, and anatomy and physiology has taught me to question things, self-evaluate, and do things in a scientific manner. They also encouraged me to pursue my love of science and discovery.
When people think of geology, they usually think of rocks and fossils. However, geology is actually a very large field of study. The knowledge of geologists ranges from rocks and fossils to the moon and other planets (Hammonds 7-8). Geologists use a variety of subjects in their work, but the sciences and math are the most important. Some of the sciences geologists study are physics and chemistry (12). English is also a subject that geologists use when communicating with other scientists, the media, and the public (12) . Because of these tasks, it is important for geologists to have a wide knowledge of these different subjects.
My motivations for the study of the social sciences, are that i am at a time in my life where i feel that learning and expanding my academic knowledge is one of, if not the most important goal of mine in the way of personal growth and development. I spent my time through high school thinking academic work was really hard, because i 'had' to do it, but the more i look back on it since, I see that it wasn't the work itself that was hard, it was the motivation to apply myself that was the hard work, because i had no real interest or passion driving me to excel. History and English seemed to be 2 of my natural strengths,as when having to research something related to either fields, it seemed as though i did not really have to try that hard and i was able to end up with good results that seemed to have thought and meaning, as i have come to realize that these 2 classes were just the 2 that i had natural interest in, there it was not the same method of learning i was so used to experience from seemingly forced classes. I have been working hospitality whilst completing my high school education, and afterwards onto full time once finished school. as it is the biggest entry level job in a hospitality driven town such as Daylesford. I tried as many areas to try my hand and find the position within hospitality that best suited me, as i was still trying to work out where my interests lay before i committed to a career. Within hospitality i would generally be hired as a kitchen hand, and move up the ranks due to opportunity of a position opening and me proving my capabilities. I had an opportunity. I would have to say my skill sets are mainly developed within field of hospitality, where i was taught a range of necessary skills required to oper...
- Studies the geological structures produced by deformations of the earth's crust, the rocks acquired after they have formed, as well as the processes that originate them. Scientist are working on the behavior of the tectonic plates in order to predict or know everything about it. This is one of the most interesting fields of the geology.
The mapping methods developed can be grouped into two types. One is by direct methods and another is by indirect methods. In the indirect method, initially, measurement of physical properties of the rock mass such as the seismic velocity and the discontinuity parameters are estimated from the physical parameters (Grainger et al., 1973). The direct method uses the visual measurement of each discontinuity. Such measurements of lengths and angles are made directly on rock outcrops, bench faces, boreholes (Piteau, 1970; ISRM, 1978) as well as from photographs of rock exposures (Franklin & Maerz, 1988; Farmer et al., 1991). The direct measurement of rock exposures can be carried out using line mapping techniques. Line mapping often referred to as the Scanline technique is widely used
In order to survive, they should be viewed, however, as a new challenge and an opportunity to play a leadership role in shaping the future society. To respond to this challenge, civil engineers will need a solid knowledge of the physical sciences, and a continued eagerness to explore new areas and apply the latest research results. Russell mentions that professional engineering need to come with a new ways, and to think outside the box of traditional in order to overcome this obstacle challenge in the introduction of his “Shaping the Future of the Civil Engineering Profession” (Russell 2013).
