In geophysics, evaluation of gravity, magnetic and electrical fields, seismic wave propagation and heat flow are used to deduce the Earths structure, composition, physical properties and dynamic processes. These studies may emphasize exploration geophysics, which uses geophysical techniques in the search for petroleum, natural gas, mineral deposits and groundwater resources. The techniques of geophysics are also used to investigate the shallow portions of the earth to determine conditions for the suitable location of dams, bridges, nuclear power plants, waste disposal sites and highways. You SHOULD MAJOR IN GEOPHYSICS IF...You are skilled in science and mathematics. You have a wide spectrum of interests in the physical sciences. You are interested in groundwater, petroleum or materials exploration. You are interested in deep Earth or planetary exploration. You are considering going on to graduate-level studies in the physical sciences.
