Day-to-day operating brief

What Geology Curator (Rocks) work looks like in practice

A Geology Curator manages rock, mineral, ore and related earth-science collections. Terms should cover locality and stratigraphy, collectors, classifications, labels, hazardous or radioactive specimens, storage, research, destructive analysis, loans, field collection and exhibitions. The curator should not discard historic labels, state an uncertain locality as precise or permit sampling without weighing scientific value against permanent material loss. Storage plans should consider specimen weight, friability, light sensitivity and chemical interaction rather than classify shelves only by mineral name. Labels detached from historic specimens are potential evidence and must be retained with their location context, not matched by appearance to the nearest plausible rock. Sampling requests require a documented purpose, method and limit because even a small destructive analysis changes the specimen permanently. Resulting data and residual material should be linked back to the accession record for future researchers.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Catalogue and research specimens.
Maintain locality and collector data.
Manage hazards storage and labels.
