It is no secret that career opportunities for the geoscience community are in flux. The traditional skillset is in less demand in sectors such as oil and gas, with fewer academic courses being offered in many regions. However, geoscientific expertise is needed in many different areas beyond resource extraction. Our panel will discuss what the next generation of geoscientists can expect, the studies that may be relevant, and also lay out the options for professionals in mid-career wanting to change course.
