Meanwhile, geophysics is a subject that combine physics methodology and geology concept to understand the bottom structure of earth surface. One of the benefit of geophysics is to discover the existence of natural resource that is contained on earth, such as crude oil, natural gas, coal, minerals, geothermal and ground water.
Moreover, geophysics also can be used for mitigation of natural disasters (such as area identification of earthquake-prone, landslides, and disasters of volcanic eruptions) and identification of environmental problems, such as for mapping the underground waste pollution distribution.
Statistic is a subject that study about how to plan, collect, analyze, interpret, and present the data for decision making in life. Career opportunities for graduates of are very wide. Not only to be an educator, but they also can be an actuary, risk management, data analyze, statistical consultant, banking and asurance, research and development, until market research.
