Using Your Ph.D. Wisely

A number of Earth and space scientists have used their degrees in geophysics to follow non-traditional paths. What options do you have for your career? How can you get started? Here are comments from scientists who want to share their experiences following these paths in their careers.

• Academic Administrator: Randy Richardson
• Popular Fiction Writer: Sarah Andrews
• Public Policy: David Applegate
• Mineral exploration/Research and technical editor: Maeve Boland
• Researcher at National Lab: Peter Fiske
• Science Journalist: Dick Kerr
• State Geologist, Vicki Cowart

Visit the DISCCRS website, http://aslo.org/phd.html, for information about an initiative for recent Ph.D.s engaged in climate change research. The initiative includes a Dissertation Registry, e-mail distribution list for recent Ph.D.s, and an international symposium to be held in September 2007.

Information is also available on the site about DIALOG, a program for recent Ph.D.s in Limnology and Oceanography. A symposium will be held in 2007.

AGU is a worldwide scientific community that advances, through unselfish cooperation in research, the understanding of Earth and space for the benefit of humanity.
