"Exactly" is not possible to say. Seismic instrument development as an industry uses electronic engineers and computer people who design and build the devices. "Seismologists" (which I think is what you mean) use seismic waves to map under ground layers of rock and liquids (like in oil exploration), they are also employed by engineers building big structures (they simple HATE it if their million dollar building falls over), in mining they trace sub-surface veins of ore or weak spots. Many work full time watching for earthquake traces. There will be a number more of these if the global seismic monitoring net goes thru. There are even astro-seismologists interpreting data from the planetary probes ("Moon-quakes & "Mars-quakes")
Does that point you in a direction? Michael

Watching out for tremors and plate tectonic movements. Just don't be hired by President Bush because he's the one that caused the tsunamis is Asia and the hurricanes in New Orleans because both are poor and not white.
