环境地球科学专业的学生将培养关键的观察和分析技能，使他们能够解决有关地球系统功能的基本问题，例如：地球过去气候变化的驱动力是什么以及未来这些过程将如何变化。养分循环和污染的变化对海洋生态系统可持续性的影响是什么？我们如何安全地管理能源和材料资源的使用，以确保现代社会的持续运转。您将开发关键的分析和观测技能，并涵盖现代地球科学中的核心主题。重点放在实地技能上，包括到湖区，牙买加和西北苏格兰的居民旅行，以及整个期间的多次一日游（实地课程的位置可能会因我们的课程内容适应变化的教学而改变。需求和学生的反馈）。您还
Environmental geoscience provides a holistic understanding of the factors influencing environmental conditions on Earth.<br><br>Environmental geoscientists play a vital role when assessing environmental challenges from local to global scales. This expertise is crucial within the framework of a sustainable environment.<br><br>With our BSc Environmental Geoscience degree, you will:<br><br>explore the conditions of Earth's past so you can protect its future<br>evaluate the risks related to critical environmental issues of global importance<br>be able to use your expertise to inform discussions on addressing acute environmental challenges<br>Our degree will help you play a valuable role in our transition to a fairer and more sustainable society.<br><br>Our BSc Environmental Geosciences degree prepares you for a wide range of careers within environmental geosciences and beyond.<br><br>It carefully balances data science, programming, and computing skills with traditional field and laboratory skills, along with understanding the functioning of the Earth's environment.<br><br>You will study a comprehensive range of topics related to the environment, and the factors shaping environmental conditions on Earth. For example, we will address the physical, chemical and biological processes that control the world's oceans, atmosphere and ecosystems.<br><br>We will pay particular attention to processes that connect the various environmental settings - how a change in one area will affect other areas.<br><br>You will develop the crucial skills needed to address important challenges, including:<br><br>How can we predict and mitigate the effects of global climate change<br>What tools can we use to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere<br>Why is our planet able to sustain life<br>How can we reduce the effects of environmental pollution<br>Will changes in seawater properties affect the ocean's role as a food source<br>How does the increased CO2 concentration in seawater affect life in the ocean<br>We believe it is important to understand the interlinked nature of the Earth's environment and our impact upon it.<br><br>We also want you to develop practical skills for future employers. Many of your activities will simulate those that professionals perform in the real world.
