Geophysics is about understanding the complex interactions between Earth's systems. We explore everything from liquid metal in the Earth's core to moving continents on the Earth surface. We study the composition of the deep Earth and the rapidly changing composition of the Earth's atmosphere.Our degree offers you the best of both subjects.Many people confuse geology and geophysics, as both disciplines study the Earth and how it works. For example, they both explore the mechanisms behind plate tectonics.However:Geologists focus on the materialistic surface of the Earth and its evolution.Geophysicists are mainly concerned about the Earth's physical processes, including its internal composition and atmosphere.As a student in geophysics and geology, you will learn about:the microscopic properties of mineralsthe structure and composition of the Earthhow large scale forces such as gravity, seismology and magnetism shape the Earthour Earth's past to forecast and safeguard its futurethe impact of global climate change on our world
