Geoscientists are increasingly needed for solving the problems of tomorrow, but what if you do not want to work in extractive industries (i.e. mining or oil and gas)? Environmental consulting is a growing field of scientists working to minimize the impacts of industrial\/commercial processes that have had an adverse impact on the communities they serve. Environmental consultants bridge the gap between industry and the public sector, ensuring that investigation and remediation of environmental impacts are conducted to industry standards, regardless of their client. Consultants also serve a key role in reshaping underserved communities that have been left behind following decades of deindustrialization in the United States, specifically in the Midwest. By combining hydrogeology, engineering, and urban planning expertise, consultants help communities leverage their former industrial\/commercial properties into revitalized downtowns, riverfronts, and more. This talk aims to describe what an environmental consultant does and offer tips on navigating your early career, as told by an early career professional with 3 years of consulting experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
