From record-breaking heatwaves and wildfires to disastrous floods, climate change is already impacting our planet. We have produced world-leading research proving that human-caused climate change has changed both the frequency and severity of extreme weather events.Join us as we explore the amazing planet Earth, from its hot core to its crust, oceans, atmosphere, and everything in-between.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.We will train you in fundamental physical principles and mathematical techniques of geophysics. Your training will be combined with an appreciation of atmospheric processes and the techniques used to study them.As a student in geophysics and meteorology, you will learn to apply your knowledge and skills to diverse fields.For example:studying the Earth's atmosphere, including its structure, thermodynamic processes, rain formation, radiation and air pollutioninterpreting weather systems and climate processesmonitoring the Earth's changing environment and climatemapping environmental pollution above and below groundmeasuring rock and soil properties before civil engineering workcarbon capture, energy storage and management of water resourcesunderstanding the behaviour of the Earth's deep interiorunderstanding how the Earth and other planets have formed and changed over their lifetimeBy studying this degree, you will learn from our wide range of experienced academics across a diverse range of Earth science disciplines. Our research-led, industry informed teaching ensures your degree has real-world relevance and helps make you highly sought after by employers.We embrace a hands on approach to learning, so you can develop in-demand practical skills. Many of your activities simulate those that professionals perform in the real world.
