Unemployment? No need to worry if you pick geology. Employment of geoscientists is projected to grow 6% from 2018 to 2028, as fast as the average for all occupations. #FunFact

#FunFact 💡 Geologists think in terms of “deep time” or “long-term.” Most geological processes occur over a very long time so a small change, given the right amount of time, can have a very large effect. 🔑

What do alien rain, rock arches and kidney stones have in common? They’re all in unrelated research projects across the world and space-science being presented in this video from the Fall Meeting in 2019.youtu.be/eDEAla5uqCY

A diamond may be a girl’s best friend, but it isn’t one of the most rare minerals. 💎 Rubies, sapphires and emeralds all take the crown for being more rare 👑 #MythBusted #FunFact

#FunFact Iceland looks huge on a regular map, but it is approximately the size of Kentucky. The Mercator projection map we use to make lines of latitude and longitude lie flat inadvertently makes countries nearer the poles appear HUGE. 👀

#WhyGeologyWednesday Professor Tobin says you should choose geology because you can apply tools from chemistry, physics, biology and other sciences to examine the past, present and to model the future. Almost all geology work is interesting work to come up with a solution.

Ever wondered why Earth doesn’t have as many craters as the moon? Here’s why: Our craters have gradually eroded away or been overgrown by vegetation. #FunFact

Need another reason to switch to geology? Professor Hansen has traveled to EVERY continent (some multiple times 😮) because of fieldwork and conferences. She says no other field would have allowed her to do the things she has done so far. #WhyGeologyWednesday

#WhyGeologyWednesday Considering engineering and geology? Do both! Engineering geologists are involved in engineering geophysics, hydrogeology and more!

#MythBuster While all desserts should be tasty, not all deserts have to be hot and full of sand. All deserts have to be dry and inhospitable which makes Antarctica the largest with 5.4 MILLION square miles, compared to the Sahara's 3.6 million square miles.❄️🏜️

#FunFact The earth is slipping along the San Andreas fault at a rate of about 2" annually. In about 15 million years, Los Angeles and San Francisco will be neighbors. 🏠

#WhyGeologyWednesday Got money on your mind? The average salary among all U.S. graduates is $50k, but geologists have an entry-level average of $92,000! 💰
