Geologists examine rocks from Earth’s surface and subsurface for many different purposes. In Alberta, the main reasons are to explore minerals and hydrocarbons (such as oil and gas), develop resources for production, build engineering foundations and stable slopes, and find and gauge ground water supplies.
