I was a Cave Specialist/Physical Science Tech for the National Park Service for several years. I built GIS models, led cave surveys, mapped surface hydrology, and hiked up high ridges at night with night vision gear and a computer to ID bat echolocation calls. I could spend a day skiing to a backcountry air resource station to measure ambient air quality or stay in the office and draft a map. It was a perfect mix of outdoors and geek.
