| Aspect | Remote Exploration Geophysics |
|---|---|
| Primary Focus | Conducting geophysical surveys to locate subsurface resources, primarily in exploration projects |
| Work Environment | Fieldwork combined with data analysis, often in remote locations |
| Required Credentials | Geophysics degree, certifications like SEG, experience with seismic and magnetic surveys |
| Industry Usage | Oil & gas, mineral exploration, environmental consulting |
Remote Exploration Geophysics involves applying geophysical methods specifically for resource exploration, often requiring field surveys and data interpretation. In contrast, a Remote Geophysicist may focus more broadly on data analysis, research, or environmental applications. Both roles share similar credentials and work environments but differ in their primary objectives and project types.

Company Description
Aurora Geosciences provides geology, geophysics, and field operation services across Canada and the United States. From early-stage exploration to advanced programs, Aurora offers services like geological mapping, geophysical surveys, drill supervision, and GIS management. Our integrated approach ensures actionable insights for technical decision-making at all project stages. Aurora’s field crews are adept at working in both remote camps and established project locations.
Role Description
This is a contract, remote Geophysicist role with frequent field deployment to project locations as required. The Geophysicist will plan and conduct geophysical surveys, including mobilization, equipment setup, calibration, and real-time troubleshooting. Daily tasks include acquiring high-quality geophysical data, monitoring data integrity in the field, maintaining detailed field logs, and coordinating closely with geologists, project managers, and logistics personnel. The role involves preliminary data processing and quality control, transferring data to office teams, and contributing to technical discussions on survey design and results. Responsibilities also include adhering to safety procedures, supporting camp and field operations as needed, and adapting to varied terrain, weather, and remote working conditions.
