omg.. this is so exciting to watch 💙💙

[@techcores]

Sick video dude!! Keep em coming looks like yall had a blast. From one geologist who's been in industry now for over a decade, I truly miss stuff like this!

[@cadenhowlett]

Yo thanks for watching - hope industry has treated you well ~

[@arthurtietz3782]

What a great video Caden!! Awesome as always brother. As an undergraduate it was really cool to see a lot of concepts that I am studying rn being shown on a real life example. All about the sedimentology, conglomerates, ignimbrites, the V rule (as we call it here haha), the lapilli, it was so well presented and interesting! I hope some day I'll have the prestige of working in some project with you! Keep doing this good work with this awesome vibe you have, hugs from Brazil Caden

[@cadenhowlett]

Thanks Arthur - always appreciate your support and words. Keep learning about those conglomerates :) un abrazo

[@kingston872]

Been in industry for about 12 years now. Going back to school for a PhD. I miss this type of fieldwork.

[@cadenhowlett]

excellent - I bet your industry experience will be super valuable as you work thru the PhD. Good luck fly high

[@anandmenon3658]

As an undergrad this really motivates me to actively pursue a career in earth sciences

[@cadenhowlett]

so kind - exactly what I'm hoping for

[@dylanqxc]

Yes yes ! finally new insane video, thanks for all the insights on what your research life is like, its so noticeable how much you enjoy it all, and that makes me enjoy it even more, thanks for all the science and all the cool little laughs in between, best of wishes 🤟

[@cadenhowlett]

thanks for sticking around and giving it your time. cheers

[@ProAgnis]

Hey Caden, I am going to study Geosiences in Germany this October and I`d love to know if it`s hard to get into your area of work, because what you do really motivates me to get into a job like that!

[@cadenhowlett]

Hey - that is great that you are going into geoscience! The opportunity to do field work sometimes depends on the faculty at the university you are at. I recommend asking professors and others around the geoscience department if they are actively doing field work, and if you want to join, as if they need help with anything! Doing big international expeditions like this usually takes some time and experience to make happen - but getting exposed to field work is the way to start. It is definitely hard to get into competitive schools like UArizona (or other international equivalents like ETH Zurich or Potsdam) but if you get experience and network you can definitely get there. Have fun :)

[@footballct14]

you’re so lit. i always love these mfers. and fire edits on this one - i like your style boi

[@cadenhowlett]

no UR lit. thanks for coming thru

[@dancooper8551]

Excellent informative video! Thanks!

[@cadenhowlett]

Glad it was helpful - thanks for giving it your time :)

[@juliennapoli2843]

i dont care if this video only has 1.3k views. Keep em coming. This is some of the best stuff ever. Also im currently a geology major and would love to talk about grad school if you can dude... would be much appreciated. Love the vid, once again

[@cadenhowlett]

Yooo thanks for the words. Feel freee to shoot me an email if you wanna talk grad school.

[@EfecTivo187]

quick question !! if i move a huge rock where water spring is born , will i hurt it?? how can i make it year around

[@helmihisham9682]

cool video! keep me motivated thru geology school

[@cadenhowlett]

yay glad to hear it

[@florestarocha]

love your editing

[@cadenhowlett]

THANKS my friend

[@JackOrebaugh]

Intro goes hard, someone book him for Coachella.

[@cadenhowlett]

book me as a speaker and i'll give a science talk lol

[@CaioTully]

really cool video!!! I'm headed to university next year to study geoscience and really looking forward to it. Just wondering what is the purpose of doing this other than general mapping and if there are a lot of opportunities to get paid to do field geology like this?

[@cadenhowlett]

Hey - thanks. Great to hear ur going into GEOS!! There are many aspects of field work that all serve important roles in testing specific hypotheses. We are interested in questions of tectonic significance, so alongside mapping and figuring out which rocks are where, we also do our best to constrain the timing and rates of tectonic processes. e.g., "Okay so these rocks are distributed in these places...how old are they, what processes formed them, how to they relate to adjacent rocks, what structures are responsible for bringing them to the surface, how do all these aspects fit into the context of Andean mountain building and the huge subduction system offshore of Chile? That's a lot but we are interested in a lot of different things. We sample rocks, map, measure, hammer, ponder. Lol. If you go to graduate school you are technically "paid" to do field work if you have a grant/project funding it. Research lends itself to field work. But of course there are non-academic jobs with the USGS etc that would enable you to conduct field work and be paid for it.

[@seloyildirim8830]

I love watching your days in the life videos and think that working like this could be dream come true for me. Do i have any chance to do mostly field work as a Geologist currently living in Germany? How competetive are these careers? I've heard work like cartography and prospecting for resource deposits are such carrers. Are such field geologists going to remain relevant in the near future? Thank you in advance!

[@chickensnitty2109]

Hey mate just had a question, what is the name of your role? Are you like a exploration geologist or earth scientist or somthing else. You have a really interesting channel and id love to do this type of field work. Thanks :)

[@cadenhowlett]

Yo yo I am currently a PhD student. So my work is directly tied to my dissertation research. I'm a field geologist and this is the kind of work that lots of field-based academic geologists do when you have grant funding from the National Science Foundation or a similar agency. I hope you get to do some fun field work some day

[@brunomanoellobosoares6442]

Very nice!

[@cadenhowlett]

THANKS!

[@Pawsup810]

~dreams of imbrication~

[@cadenhowlett]

every night! hehe

[@juliahowlett1008]

Thanks for making these awesome videos…appreciate the time and effort you put into them👍⛰️ love the science lingo😵‍💫

[@cadenhowlett]

Thanks for dropping by mama I luv u
