Information About

Ecologist




Ecologists examine the relationship between the environment and actions that affect it, including rainfall, pollution, temperature shifts, and industrialization. Some ecologists work for not-for-profit environmental groups; others work for large corporations or the government. Ecologists work with scientific and mathematical models to analyze and interpret correlations between actions and effects on the environment, which translates into significant time looking at data. For those who come to the career through other routes, the path is less certain: Only 55 percent remain in the profession after five years. People with strong essay-writing and report-writing skills last longer than those without them. Aspiring ecologists should be aware of the institutional difficulties in making any headway against environmental degradation: This sense of frustration can be significant for those entering this profession.
