Fieldwork

Exposure to hard weather conditions such as extreme temperatures, precipitation, or challenging terrain; can cause discomfort and physical exertion/strain.

Field environments may pose hazards like wildlife encounters, challenging topography, or adverse weather events; severity and frequency vary by project and season.

Geological core logging can involve lifting of up to 60 lbs repetitively and requires periods of intense concentration and pressure.

Office work

Generally controlled, but periods of intense concentration and pressure may occur, especially during deadlines.

Hazards are minimal compared to the field, with potential for discomfort during extended computer work.
