"Our planet’s environmental conditions are approaching a critical state - from global climate change to pollution and habitat degradation.

 

 If you are interested in understanding these challenges or looking for a degree that combines environmental science, geology, chemistry and physics, then Environmental Geoscience is for you.

 

 #### What is environmental geoscience?

 

 Environmental Geoscience explores how humans interact with natural processes on land, in the ocean and in the atmosphere at local and global scales.

 

 Environmental Geoscience applies knowledge of our planet's physical processes to environmental challenges to create a fairer and more sustainable world.

 

 On this degree, you will investigate critical challenges such as:

 

 * water and air quality

 * global climate change

 * environmental degradation

 * deoxygenation and acidification of our oceans

 * the risks of pollution and contaminants

 * sustainable use of resources

 

 You will understand the interactions between compounds and man-made substances in water, the ocean, and the atmosphere and how they cycle through Earth systems.

 

 You will learn to analyse environmental data, evaluate human impacts, and how to propose sustainable solutions.

 

 This degree also offers you flexibility in your studies. You can build your degree around topics you are interested in. Our staff can also help you design an interdisciplinary curriculum, where you can choose option courses from other subjects.

 

 You will also benefit from cutting-edge research facilities and the wide range of research interests of our academic staff – many at the forefront of their field – making it easy for you to tailor your studies to suit your interests.

 

 By the end of this degree, you will gain sought-after practical skills in scientific communication, field and laboratory work, data analysis, and problem-solving, preparing you for careers tackling real-world environmental challenges.
