Geoscenario Specialists: Yellowstone Hotspot This page describes some of the careers chosen by people who might study hotspots. You will choose one of these careers for your research in the class project. A geologist interprets and explains information that can be learned from rocks, rock formations, and landforms. Geologists use patterns and evidence to hypothesize the greater processes that shape those patterns and evidence. This geologist examines rock debris thrown from a geyser. A seismologist studies earthquakes and the effects of elastic waves through Earth’s crust. Sources of particular interest include volcanoes and tectonic boundaries. Recent equipment has allowed seismologists to create three-dimensional images of magma chambers that fuel hotspots. This seismologist carries equipment to set up a remote seismology station. A volcanologist studies the formation and behavior of volcanoes to understand past eruptions and predict events. Volcanologists often visit active volcanoes as well as study old volcanic layers found within rock columns. This volcanologist analyzes data from recent volcanic activity. A renewable energy consultant requires a broad knowledge of energy issues in various industries. As businesses become more concerned about their energy efficiency, energy consumption, and carbon footprint, consultants can guide them toward the best technology. This renewable energy consultant attends an international conference on energy use. Investigation #: Title 93
