Hello sir.

Thanks a lot for taking time from your very busy schedule to answer my question. This is a very interesting answer that you’ve given and I have additional questions. I would like to continue this conversation further and I will email you soon.

Thanks again for your reply.

Regards, Joe.

Hi Joe-
Sorry about the late reply to your comment. It has been an interesting couple weeks of teaching here in Missouri. If you are interested in aviation and geology I suggest you look into remote sensing as a possible career field, mainly the use of drones. We have had a few students at Missouri State pursue this option for a graduate degree. Drones are becoming a huge part of geology and are being applied to everything from agriculture to volcanology and field mapping. Other options to combine the two in remote sensing include the collection of aerial photography, land surveys or thermal imaging of volcanoes or other geothermal sites.

I hope this helps and if you have any additional questions just send me an email.

Cheers,

Gary

Thank you for reading my post.
I have a small issue (not necessarily, but a concern) in choosing what to study in university. I would like to pursue a career in geology but I am also interested in aviation. Basically, I enjoy working in the field and not in an office and these two careers are the ones I’m interested in that fall under that criterion. My question is, can I do both of these to get a degree? I have read in other posts where knowledge in geology is being used in aviation.
And if I can do both, which should be the main focus?
Anyone with the information I seek can answer this question.

Thank you, Joe.
