This module introduces Geoscience/Earth Science as a component of geographical knowledge underpinning much of Physical Geography education throughout undergraduate studies. A systems approach to studying the Earth and its processes is taken. Themes covered include a scientific appraisal of what we understanding (or don’t) about the Earth, the geological and geomorphological processes (e.g. geological time) controlling the form and operation of the Earth system, rock types and geohazards. Lectures on these core concepts are complimented by online and tutorial based exercises and continuous assessment work.
