professional experience in geology that is equivalent to
at least the GS-12 level in the Federal service.<br
style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
Examples of such experience could include planning,

resolve new problems. The complexity of this work
typically required extensive modification and adaptation
of standard procedures, methods, and techniques, and the
development of totally new methods and techniques to
address novel or obscure problems for which guidelines or
precedents were not substantially applicable. At this

principles of geology and highly developed ability in
