Geology, BSc (Hons)

Geology is the study of the Earth: the nature and origin of materials that make up our planet and the natural and energy resources it provides. It explores the processes that shape the Earth (e.g. climate change, earthquakes, volcanoes and landslides). Geology addresses fundamental questions regarding the structure, age and evolution of the Earth, its controlling processes and the history of life. Geology impacts profoundly on many aspects of life and society.
