A Geologic Mapping job involves studying and documenting the distribution, nature, and structure of rock formations at the Earth's surface or subsurface. Geologists in this role collect field data, analyze rock types, and create detailed maps that help in resource exploration, environmental studies, and hazard assessments. The work often requires fieldwork, data interpretation, and the use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) software to produce accurate geological maps.
A typical day in Geologic Mapping often includes conducting field surveys to collect geological data, analyzing rock and soil samples, and recording observations to create or update detailed maps. You may spend some days outdoors in varying weather conditions and landscapes, and other days in the office processing data using GIS and specialized mapping software. Collaboration with hydrologists, engineers, and environmental scientists is common to ensure accurate, project-specific deliverables. The work environment can be both physically demanding and intellectually stimulating, offering opportunities for continual learning and travel. This variety makes each day unique and helps build a diverse skill set relevant to many geoscience careers.
To thrive in Geologic Mapping, you need a solid background in geology or earth sciences, along with practical experience in fieldwork and map interpretation. Familiarity with GIS (Geographic Information Systems), GPS devices, and geological mapping software is commonly required, as well as certifications in geoscience or professional geology in some regions. Strong observational skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are valuable soft skills for collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and documenting findings clearly. These abilities ensure accurate, thorough mapping and analysis, which are essential for resource exploration, environmental assessments, and infrastructure projects.

The Department of Conservation under the California Geological Survey (CGS) Regional Geologic and Landslide Mapping Program is seeking to hire a student assistant to support the Landslide Mapping Unit. Project work will be commensurate with each student's skill and experience, but will generally involve the collection, management, analysis, and interpretation of geologic and landslide data. Project work may include working with CGS landslide databases and event inventories; assist with seasonal and storm-scale data acquisition; and compile mapping from previously-published geologic maps. Many of these projects involve the use of GIS software (i.e., QGIS, ArcGIS Pro) and students may have the opportunity to digitize geologic mapping and assist with project layout development.
