Statisticians
A statistician working in the geosciences is responsible for analyzing
data related to Earth’s physical and environmental processes, such as
climate change, earthquakes, and oceanography. Their work is essential
for understanding our planet and making informed decisions about how to
address environmental challenges. They require a moderate background in
the geosciences and may be involved in:
-
Working with and analyzing large datasets from a variety of sources,
including satellite imagery, remote sensing, and field measurements.
-
Using statistical techniques such as regression analysis,
correlation analysis, and time series analysis to identify patterns
and trends in the data.
-
Developing models to predict future events or outcomes of
geoscience-related processes, such the impact of climate change on
sea levels or to predict the likelihood of earthquakes in a given
region.
