We will teach you to understand our world, so you can help safeguard its future. You'll study the properties and forces, both small and large, that act on planetary or even inter-planetary scales.

For example:

the microscopic properties of minerals
large scale forces such as gravity and magnetism
the inner workings of the Earth
We will train you in fundamental physical principles and mathematical techniques of geophysics. You will learn to apply these techniques to diverse fields, for example:

monitoring the Earth's changing environment and climate
mapping environmental pollution above and below ground
measuring rock and soil properties before civil engineering work
carbon capture, energy storage and management of water resources
technological innovations to sustainably explore and manage the Earth's resources for society's needs
understanding the behaviour of the Earth's deep interior
understanding how the Earth and other planets have formed and changed over their lifetime
