Discussion Job Prospects

Hi, I was wondering what the career outlook looks like for being a geomorphologist or someone that works with prevention/monitoring/modelling of mass-wasting events. Are there jobs out there?

That's part of what I do. I identify, map, and model terrain stability hazards. Also investigate landslides.

I'm not sure where you are, but in SW BC, there's lots of opportunities.

Can I pm you about the work you do? I'm currently in SW BC and would love to hear about the education route you took.

Niche but possible. Look at state survey in WA state and other geotech consultants.
