Geophysicist jobs in Finland
Geophysicists study the physical characteristics of the earth and apply physical measurements to geological situations. Geophysicists use the principles of gravity, seismicity and electromagnetics to identify the structure and composition of the earth.
Geophysicist - Which skills are essential?
Develop, try out, adjust and repair seismic equipment.
Utilise computer equipment or digital devices to facilitate quality control, data management, and communication. Follow instructions given by a computer programme, create computer files or documents.
Compose documents and work logs, compile charts and reports.
Variety of seismic measurement and data-processing techniques. Seismic mapping in two or three dimensions.
Move seismic equipment to different locations; utilise seismometers; observe recording equipment in order to detect anomalies and irregularities; process and interpret seismic data both in 2D as in 3D.
The natural science involving the study of matter, motion, energy, force and related notions.
Solid earth, rock types, structures and the processes by which they are altered.
Prepare technical reports that describe results and processes of scientific or technical research, or assess its progress. These reports help researchers to keep up to date with recent findings.
Offer a wide variety in geophysical support; provide guidance and give specific technical advice.
Geophysicist - Which skills are useful but not essential?
Perform geophysical measurements using gravity meters which are either on the ground or airborne. Measure deviations from the normal gravity field, or anomalies, to determine the structure and composition of the earth.
Understand electrical engineering, a field of engineering that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.
The study of the recovery and examination of material culture left behind from human activity in the past.
Measure the structure and composition of the ground using electromagnetic devices which are either on the ground or airborne.
Perform geophysical measurements by inducing an electrical current in the earth. Measure the electric resistance and induced current of the earth to determine ground composition and structure.
The functioning of electronic circuit boards, processors, chips, and computer hardware and software, including programming and applications. Apply this knowledge to ensure electronic equipment runs smoothly.
Estimate the potential oil yield based on input from a variety of methods, such as analogy, volumetric measurement, decline analysis, material balance calculations, and reservoir simulation.
Identify the strengths and weaknesses of various abstract, rational concepts, such as issues, opinions, and approaches related to a specific problematic situation in order to formulate solutions and alternative methods of tackling the situation.
Estimate the volume of an oil and gas reservoir by measuring its areal extent, rock pore volume, and the fluid content within the pores.
Estimate the potential gas yield based on input from a variety of methods, such as analogy, volumetric measurement, decline analysis, material balance calculations, and reservoir simulation.
