理学士（荣誉）地质与自然地理

该课程面向对地球物理过程感兴趣的学生，这些物理过程将自然地理与对地球的运作方式有更深入的了解联系在一起，并发展了对地球作为一个连接系统的综合理解-其地形是通过地球的相互作用而形成的地表和深层地球过程。生活，板块构造，火山，冰川，河流和人类最终定义了现代和古代景观。该定量程序旨在通过构造与侵蚀之间的相互作用，使学生掌握解释景观的技能和知识，并了解并结合遥感技术（包括地理信息系统），实验室实验和各种环境下的实地考察，预测其在时空范围内的演变，这些领域近年来包括苏格兰，西班牙和塞浦路斯。<br>可选国外年份
The BSc Earth Science and Physical Geography allows you to combine your understanding of both physical geography and Earth processes to address global challenges.<br><br>It carefully balances data science, programming, and computing skills with traditional field and laboratory skills, along with a knowledge of geography and Earth science.<br><br>You will learn about:<br><br>the structure and composition of the Earth<br>the deep-Earth processes that shape the Earth's surface and impact the landscape<br>the associated hazards such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides<br>We will build on this knowledge to explore how oceans, rivers, glaciers, and human impact define the modern and ancient landscape. We will also examine how these processes, in turn, impact society.<br><br>This integrated understanding underpins leading research on global change and many of the world's most critical physical environmental challenges.<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. We will also teach you sought-after computational analysis and quantitative skills.
