Course Description
The course builds on EARTH1001 highlighting practical techniques for study of the planet, including the use of the fossil record; the origin and sustainable use of Earth's renewable and non-renewable resources; how geology and the landscape combine to generate sedimentary rocks; and hazards and contemporary challenges for geologists to tackle. By having an in depth understanding of geological and other natural processes a student is better able to understand the effects global warming will have in the future and on the present.
