A rocky revolution: Can virtual 3D models transform the teaching of geology? Published: Fieldwork has long been a mainstay of geology education, but it is not everyone’s cup of tea. Geological features — physical features of the Earth (e.g., Geological features — physical features of the Earth (e.g., not in a classroom).

How does the Southern Ocean help protect our planet?

Futurum

Changes in ocean dynamics have direct implications for carbon uptake and storage, which in turn influences the chemistry and productivity of ocean waters and, consequently, the entire climate system. Chemistry, biology, physics, geology and statistics could all prove very useful.

CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. Your pathway will depend on the particular direction you wish to head in, but a solid background in the sciences is important.
