GEOPHYSICIST - A geophysicist is someone who studies the earth using gravity, magnetic, and seismic methods. Some geophysicists tend to do most of their work indoors on technology doing modeling and calculations and some go outside and study features of the earth first hand. Geophysicists study the internal structure and the evolution of the earth, earthquakes, and the ocean.
To become a geophysicist you would need to take as many science and maths and earth based sciences as possible at college, like physics, geology, chemistry, and advanced maths, and in university a major in geology or definitely in physics, with a strong background of maths and sciences.
Lots of universities offer graduate degrees in Geophysics, including Victoria University of Wellington, Auckland University, and University of Otago.
