as a geologist I have almost read every book and article I get my hand on, but still, I feel that there is a lot of potential in geology, and a lot of work most be done, so here is the main question, How I can be innovative and creative, to leave the world a better place than I found?
what skills I need to be an expert? what devises we as geologists could invent?
Lots of innovations are required.
How to stop a tsunami and how to predict an earthquake would be very helpful if you can solve these cases.
Must be able to come out with new inquires in geology especially with regards to recent challenges in earthquakes, tsunamis, climate change and so forth. These are perplexing challenges to man now.
My appreciations for this interesting question. This question has given an opportunity for the geologists to showcase their role & importance for the society. Geological phenomenon/factors are both constructive and destructive to the human beings. Landslides; earthquakes; volcanoes; etc, are the natural hazards due to geological reasons which destruct life and property. Rocks and minerals are economic goods as building materials; ornaments; water resources; oil; etc. Hence, a geologist has a great role to play in the society. Geologist has to identify the natural hazard zones and also provide plan of action to mitigate the effect of these natural hazards from human and economic losses. Geologist also can contribute in the economic development by identifying the mineral / rock resources of importance.
As many of the geological features/aspects are hidden below the earth surface, and also most of the data gathered are indirect through over the surface experimentations; a geologist has to have great observation; analytical and interpretation skills.
You must have a burning desire to solve long established geological problems like inter-plate and intra-plate Earthquakes, tsunamis, sinkholes etc. and work hard to solve them.
Thanks to all of you friends, indeed sharing your advise and experience, make a good database that never be found in a book.
Many topics and geological events need to be answered, answer some puzzling questions to be a creative geologist.
In my opinion the most important things that the geologist must have is to imagine and think in 3D vision in order to saw the fractures, aquifers, and all different s landscape.
If you are in exploration geology, you need to use a new approach to find new mineral deposits.
For example, my team found a diamond-bearing rock in an area with very low probability of finding some of these.
Biological signals. Physics and chemical analysis have been played out (incremental advancements). Innovative means to incorporate biology in increasingly novel ways is a great means for new discoveries.
