Help us inspire the next generation of Earth Scientists!

CFES and CGEN are working to refresh the earthsciencescanada.com Careers Website, initially built in 2009 during the International Year of Planet Earth. We are looking for Canadian Geoscientists to provide some insight into the jobs you do to show young people the breadth and variety of jobs available to folks who study geoscience.

You can help us create Canadian content by filling in the following questionnaire, telling us about your Earth Science job and your experience as an Earth Scientist. We plan to include collected answers, including quotes as testimonials, on our “What’s It Like?” page so that young people can get a sense of what working as an Earth Scientist is really like from real people.

The website is aimed at high school students, teachers/guidance counsellors and parents. Please consider this as you formulate your response, especially for using technical terms, jargon, etc.

Please type your answers to the following questions in the boxes below (the word limit is set within each text box). Once completed, please check the box indicating your consent for us to use your comments and image on the website. Then please add a recent, high-resolution headshot of yourself, and submit.

Thank you for helping us to reach out to young people about great careers in Earth Sciences! Beth McLarty Halfkenny On behalf of The Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences (CFES) and the Canadian Geoscience Education Network (CGEN).
