地质学（荣誉）理学士

在“地质学”中，您将研究地球的演化，了解其最初形成的过程，数十亿年以来的变化以及预测未来的情况。您将开发和应用关键的科学和可转移技能，以回答地球科学中的基本问题，例如：我们的星球为何能够维持生命。地球内部如何工作，以及过程如何影响地面。我们如何可持续地管理地球资源。我们能否预测并减轻全球气候变化的影响。可以预测地震和火山爆发等自然灾害吗？您将发展关键的地质技能，并涵盖现代地质学的核心主题。住所旅行特别强调野外工作，其中包括湖区，苏格兰西北部，西班牙和塞浦路斯的各个地方，以及整个一日的一日游。您还将开发一系
Our BSc Earth Sciences is a new cutting-edge degree that prepares you for advanced careers in the Earth sciences and beyond.<br><br>It carefully balances data science, programming, and computing skills with traditional field and laboratory skills, along with a knowledge of Earth sciences.<br><br>We will train you in the skills needed to answer the important questions in the Earth sciences, including:<br><br>How can we mitigate the effects of global change<br>What tools can we use to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere<br>Why is our planet able to sustain life<br>How does the Earth's interior work, and how do these processes affect the surface<br>How can we sustainably manage the Earth's resources to meet our energy, mineral, and water needs<br>How can we improve our understanding of natural hazards such as earthquakes and volcanoes to reduce their risk and save lives<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.<br><br>You will also learn sought-after computational analysis and quantitative skills.<br><br>For example, you will gain experience in:<br><br>acquiring, analysing, assessing and presenting a wide range of data<br>computing skills including programming and use of specialist software <br>computer modelling and mapping<br>Geographical Information Systems (GIS)<br>Demand is growing for these data skills across a range of employment sectors.<br><br>You will learn from leading national and international Earth scientists across a diverse range of fields.
