Geophysics and Meteorology, MEarthPhys (Hons)

If you are eager to understand Earth's systems and address global challenges, geophysics offers a compelling path. This field applies physics to explore interactions from the planet's core to its atmosphere, including studying natural disasters like earthquakes, using remote sensing via satellites and drones, and analyzing environmental changes to mitigate human impacts. Its interdisciplinary nature links closely with meteorology, which examines atmospheric dynamics, climate change, and phenomena such as storms and hurricanes. Together, they reveal how factors like gravity, heat transfer, and ocean currents influence weather and climate.In this program, you will master physical principles, mathematical techniques, and atmospheric processes, applying them to areas like weather interpretation, environmental monitoring, pollution mapping, and sustainable practices such as carbon capture. Our research-led teaching, delivered by world-renowned experts, ensures relevance and employability, with hands-on activities mirroring real-world applications. Ranked among the top globally, our department has contributed to key environmental advancements, including the Paris Agreement.
