理学士（荣誉）地球物理学和地质学

地球物理学和地质学与地球研究有关。地球物理学是通过使用物理学和数学研究地球内部结构和动力学的方法。您将学习作为本主题基础的基本物理原理和数学技术，以及它们在油气勘探，环境监测和保护以及减轻自然灾害等领域的应用。您将了解我们星球的内部运作方式。地质学是对过去45亿年地球演变的研究，它建立在对自然世界的仔细观察以及物理，化学和生物原理的应用的基础上。板块构造学的统一理论改变了我们对地球演变背后的全球过程的理解，包括海洋的创造和破坏，火山和矿床的起源，油气盆地的发展以及山脉的建设。节目在苏格兰是独一无二的。该大
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.<br>Our degree offers you the best of both subjects.<br><br>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.<br><br>However:<br><br>Geologists focus on the materialistic surface of the Earth and its evolution.<br>Geophysicists are mainly concerned about the Earth's physical processes, including its internal composition and atmosphere.<br>As a student in geophysics and geology, you will learn about:<br><br>the microscopic properties of minerals<br>the structure and composition of the Earth<br>how large scale forces such as gravity, seismology and magnetism shape the Earth<br>our Earth's past to forecast and safeguard its future<br>the impact of global climate change on our world<br>By 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 make you highly sought after by employers.<br><br>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.
