Re-Greening the Environment: Careers in Clean Up Remediation and Restoration

Suzy Gazlay

Re-Greening the Environment covers the wide range of careers in environmental clean-up, remediation, and renewal. The response to two massive oil spills-the Exxon Valdez spill off the coast of Alaska in 1989 and the current Deepwater Horizon/BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico-are explored. The types of jobs and careers that are associated with preventing and correcting disasters such as these include environmental scientist, hydrogeologist, enforcing clean-up regulations, and monitoring and testing waterways, soil, and groundwater for harmful pollutants. Also, the reuse and rehabbing of older commercial or industrial buildings presents opportunities in planning, designing, rebuilding, reclaiming, and restoring the natural habitats associated with these sites.
