Now, the tide may be turning, as there are more opportunities to solve sustainability challenges. Geologists can reapply their skills from traditional geological roles, whether it be from academia or the oil and gas industry. We speak to several geologists about their career journey towards sustainable geoscience, and their perspectives:
