地球物理学和气象学具有重大的经济和环境重要性。在研究地球内部结构时，地球物理学将物理学和数学结合在一起，而气象学则采用类似的方法和技术来研究大气动力学，气候变化和气象现象。该计划包括两个单独的项目和一个国际实地课程。我们的地球物理学和气象计划在英国是独一无二的。该大学是欧洲最大的地球物理学家和气候科学家群体之一，提供无与伦比的课程，涵盖地球科学中物理学和数学的实际应用。
Geophysics is about understanding the complex interactions between Earth's systems. We explore everything from liquid metal in the Earth's core to moving continents on the Earth surface. We study the composition of the deep Earth and the rapidly changing composition of the Earth's atmosphere.<br>Meteorology uses similar methods and techniques as geophysics to study:<br><br>atmospheric dynamics<br>climate change<br>meteorological phenomena, such as rain, snow, storms and hurricanes<br>There is a strong connection between geophysics and meteorology. Many of the Earth's processes can affect our atmosphere, climate and weather - including:<br><br>gravity<br>heat transfer<br>ocean currents<br>volcanic eruptions<br>As well as being fascinating, the study of geophysics and meteorology are increasingly vital to us all.<br><br>We will train you in fundamental physical principles and mathematical techniques of geophysics. Your training will be combined with an appreciation of atmospheric processes and the techniques used to study them.<br><br>As a student in geophysics and meteorology, you will learn to apply your knowledge and skills to diverse fields.<br><br>For example:<br><br>studying the Earth's atmosphere, including its structure, thermodynamic processes, rain formation, radiation and air pollution<br>interpreting weather systems and climate processes<br>monitoring the Earth's changing environment and climate<br>mapping environmental pollution above and below ground<br>measuring rock and soil properties before civil engineering work<br>carbon capture, energy storage and management of water resources<br>understanding the behaviour of the Earth's deep interior<br>understanding how the Earth and other planets have formed and changed over their lifetime<br>By studying this degree, you will learn from our wide range of experienced academics across a diverse range of Earth science disciplines. Our research-led, industry-informed teaching ensures your degree has real-world relevance and makes you highly sought after by employers.<br><br>We embrace a hands on approach to learning, so you can develop in-demand practical skills. Many of your activities simulate those that professionals perform in the real world.
