At the end of the day a meal is prepared on an open fire under the stars, perhaps followed by a little data processing on the computer and planning for the next day. This is me using a gravity meter in the Hamersley Ranges. Different types of rocks in the Earth have different masses and therefore will attract objects to a greater or lesser extent. A gravity meter is sensitive enough to detect the small changes in gravity that reflect density differences, and these variations can be used to infer the structure of the Earth's crust. To explain ideas, plan projects and listen to the ideas of others.
Computers are an essential tool in geology.
I use standard software and software purpose-designed for processing geophysical data. Occasionally I write my own simple computer programs. The process of identifying a problem and then designing a program of research to address that problem, collecting data and developing a hypothesis based on that data is an extremely satisfying job. This is what draws me to science, and this is what fuels my enthusiasm. Science is never dull or uninteresting - just when you think you have a problem solved, something else comes along that destroys your hypothesis and the process begins again.
