Earth Science student applying field mapping, stratigraphic correlation, and structural geology for mining and geotechnical internships.
GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a motivated and detail-oriented L300 Earth Science student at the University of Ghana with a strong academic foundation in geological principles, field mapping, stratigraphic correlation, and structural geology. I’m driven to apply what I’ve learned in a real setting, building practical skills through an internship or entry-level role in the mining and geotechnical sector.
In my field experience, I completed a one-week field mapping project analyzing sedimentary basin structures and rock formation, including mapping and correlating six distinct rock units to construct a stratigraphic column. I’ve also gained hands-on industry exposure through integrated field trips—observing active quarrying operations at Shai Hills, studying small-scale granite production, and participating in geophysical data acquisition—so I can connect field observations to geological interpretation and mineral potential.
