This summer I worked an internship with a geotechnical drilling firm. Here I helped better the environment by drilling for soil samples, analyzing them, and coming up with solutions to better improve soil quality. Along with improving soil for crop growth, I was also able to analyze soil to ensure buildings would be structurally sounds from natural disasters. I knew nothing about this process or how important it truly is before working this summer, but now I know how important it is to know what is below you before you start to grow crops or build skyscrapers.
