AI can do the arithmetic, build the spreadsheet formula and suggest what to look at. Deciding what the numbers mean for your situation is still you.
Part of Analyze environmental or geospatial data, under the O*NET work activity group Analyzing Data or Information. Individual tasks below can carry a different label when their own wording calls for it (2 AI-ready, 15 AI-assist, 0 stays human).
Tasks built on this activity
- Manage or analyze data obtained from remote sensing systems to obtain meaningful results.
- Integrate other geospatial data sources into projects.
- Analyze data from research conducted to detect and measure physical phenomena.
- Analyze data acquired from aircraft, satellites, or ground-based platforms, using statistical analysis software, image analysis software, or Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
- Analyze and interpret geological data, using computer software.
- Analyze and interpret geological, geochemical, or geophysical information from sources, such as survey data, well logs, bore holes, or aerial photos.
