I Am A...Natural Resource Economist

Welcome to the “I Am A..." series, a whiteboard animation video series highlighting USGS careers. The concept is to show "what society (or my parents) thinks I do" compared with "what I really do." One image captures a more whimsical representation of a "scientist" in a particular field and the second demonstrates a more accurate representation of what that professional really “looks” like at work.

This video is about a natural resource economist (i.e. someone who studies the value of features in the natural world).

Economist:
eco- = “house”
-nomos = “account”
-ist = “person”
(i.e. “house manager”)
