Any fellow Earth Science bros here.

The field is so broad I don't know what to specialize in. It is all interesting to me, geochemistry, geophysics, mineralogy, structural, all pretty neat.

What did you specialize in and why?

mathematics because I'm not a brainlet confined to the limitations of physical reality, much less the earth

Asteroid Mining is the only choice

We're getting off this rock, ya dig?

Math is neat and difficult I'll give you that, but did you not want to do a physical science that directly applies to reality? Logic puzzles are fun, but what about carrying out actual investigations of present real conditions?

Different strokes for different folks.

paleo
because the past is another world, and some things that once lived on this planet are stranger than any ayylmaos we can imagine/get probed by.

I'm graduating with a degree in Geology in April and this is my goal. I'm hoping to get an advanced degree in Planetary Geology although University of Hawaii specifically has a degree in Asteroids so I may apply there.

are you wanting to go into academia? I don't think asteroid mining will be taking off soon.
Asteroid mining seems more like a rocket engineering issue.

Geophysicist here. Spécialised in numerical simulations (fortran FTW...)
Sarting a thesis on the core-mantle boundary (trying to modelise the évolution of the LLSVPs when under earth-like mantellic convection, and considering différent possible origins)
If you got any questions, I'm at tour disposal.

Geochemist here.
About to start research with the forensics faculty for the determination of dust origin in a forensic context.

Geoscience major here. Looking to go to grad school for geophysics, but literally have no idea what it would entail. Anyone have any recommendations on places to start getting into the basics of it?

>>8580197
What software and programming languages do you use for your numerical simulations?

Which of these two projects would advance geophysics more, an ultra-deep borehole or more seismology stations around the world (including ocean bottom)?

in all seriousness, it's cool stuff even though you don't do much fieldwork.
