地球物理学是通过使用物理学和数学研究地球内部结构和动力学的方法。您将学习作为本主题基础的基本物理原理和数学技术，以及它们在油气勘探，环境监测和保护以及减轻自然灾害等领域的应用。您将了解我们星球的内部运作方式。该计划包括两个单独的项目和一个国际野外课程。我们的地球物理计划在苏格兰是独一无二的。该大学是欧洲最大的地球物理学家团体之一，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>We will teach you to understand our world, so you can help safeguard its future.<br><br>You'll study the properties and forces, both small and large, that act on planetary or even inter-planetary scales.<br><br>For example:<br><br>the microscopic properties of minerals<br>large scale forces such as gravity and magnetism<br>the inner workings of the Earth<br>We will train you in fundamental physical principles and mathematical techniques of geophysics.<br><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 helps make 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.
