To introduce the structure, composition, and processes of the Earth from centre to surface.
To give an understanding of how these processes and their interactions shape the Earth's surface, climate and biosphere.
To understand and evaluate the link between cause and effect for different geological processes.
To acknowledge and evaluate the role of humans in, and our dependency and impact on, the Earth system.
To Equip students with valuable transferable skills including the ability to:
apply observational, practical, modelling, enquiry and problem-solving skills, both in the laboratory and field, including those required in understanding 3D data.
apply the scientific method to evaluate and critically analyse experimental methodology, evidence, and conclusion, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
apply biological, chemical, and physical concepts in novel geological situations, often employing partial data sets and resolving conflicting evidence.
apply mathematical concepts in the interpretation of numerical and graphical geological data.
summarize and communicated individually and in groups, geological conclusions both in writing and in verbal presentations.
