Geology is the science of earth studies. Geologists study geological data and material collected through seismic prospecting, examine surface and underground rocks, minerals and fossils in search of oil, natural gas and minerals.
Almost all major state universities host geology departments and many top institutes offer graduate and postgraduate studies in geology. The most reputed are: IITs (Mumbai, Kharagpur, Roorkee, Bhubaneswar); Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad; St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai; Institute of Science, Mumbai; Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai; Indian Institute of Geo-Magnetism, Mumbai; Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad; National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad; National Institute of Oceanography, Goa; Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)
Exciting developments are taking place in this field with automation, computerization and remote technologies radically changing the profession. Many jobs which earlier required work on-site are now being done by specialists located in remote locations. Professionally qualified geologists are likely to be involved in undersea mining, and in future lunar and Martian exploration expeditions.
