Career opportunities in Geophysics

Geophysics, a branch of Earth sciences,is the study of the Earth by quantitative physical methods, especially by seismic, electromagnetic and radioactivity method. The theories and techniques of geophysics are employed extensively in the planetary sciences in general.

Geophysics has increased dramatically man's ability to exploit natural resources. Human senses cannot detect variations in the earth's gravitation field of one parts per millions.

Seismology, the primary method of petroleum exploration, requires exact timing and recording of very low-amplitude vibrators, vibration that is far below that which a human would sense.

Geophysicists are involved in field investigation, laboratory studies and experiments, data collection from instruments placed below the earth's surface and from satellites hundreds of kilometers above the surface; data processing and analysis using some of the world's most potent supercomputer and drilling wells thousands of meters deep.

The long-range forecast for employment opportunities for Geophysicists are very good, particularly since exploration Geophysics degrees incorporate diverse fields of study and practical field experience. Exploration for coal, petroleum, minerals and water, concern about the environment and the disposal of hazardous waste are just a few of the challenging area which will require the skills of trained Geophysicists for many years to come.

Various Steps in Buying Process

Before discussing the buying process, it is important to recognize that various buying situations will have an influence on this process. First of all, consumers are likely to display various levels of commitment, depending on the nature of the purchase. It has been suggested that there are three such levels. 1. Extended problem solving In this situation,such as the decision to take a long-haul holiday, the consumer is likely to have a deep level of commitment, to make a detailed search for information, and to make an extensive comparison of the alternatives. 2. Limited problem solving In this situation, the consumer will have some degree of knowledge or experience already, but many factors will be taken for granted and the information search will be far more limited. A Second holiday at a favorite skiing destination maybe purchased in this way. 3. Habit...

Explain the scope,need and benefit of market segmentation

Market was defined as the place or areas in which buyers and sellers functions. Marketing is a exchange process.

Hence selling is very essential and for selling markets is essential. Market is the aggregate demands for the potential buyers of commodity or services.
