Via the Oklahoman:
...Geophysicists like Miller use seismic data to create a three-dimensional map of a large area.
Such a job usually requires a master’s degree in geophysics, after earning an undergraduate degree in a related field like geology or mathematics.
Tipton said geophysicists often are perceived almost like artists, since their discipline sometimes requires more art than science. They must be able to visualize underground rock formations in three dimensions to make the maps their jobs require.
He said those skills also can be used in other fields, like research or predicting earthquakes...
