To learn to devise and develop Earth Sciences projects and teaching methods appropriate to engage the relevant age group they are working with. To help inspire a new generation of Earth Scientists as prospective undergraduates by providing role models for school pupils.
We are living through a time of unprecedented change on Earth. Scientific understanding of geological hazards, sustainability, infrastructure, climate change, energy, and natural resources has never been so important, and Earth Sciences sit at the heart of the debate.
Special projects: The student will devise a special Earth Sciences project on the basis of discussion with the teacher and module co-ordinator and their own assessment of what will interest the particular pupils they are working with.
Environmental Earth Science covers the Earth’s water cycle in terms of both quantity and quality. You will learn about the composition and materials of the Earth, the mode of formation, distribution and extraction of the Earth's resources and energy.
Upcoming research projects will investigate the stability of cratons, quantify the rheology of geo-materials at high temperature and pressure, investigate distribution and cycling of oxygen in the mantle, and explore the link between climate and tectonics in Australia.
The Department of Earth Sciences at Durham University provides students with an expansive understanding of how the planet works and of our relationship with the planet now and in the future. We offer four 3-year BSc courses and one 4-year MSci course that allow you to follow your interests and learn at the cutting edge of human knowledge.
Department of Earth Sciences. Undergraduate Study. We place research-led teaching at the centre of our programmes because we want you to be at the forefront of knowledge generation in the 21st century. Our undergraduates will lead the fight against the major geoscience problems we face as a society.
