Earth Sciences

The School of Earth Sciences is one of the most rapidly expanding science departments in the college. Recent years have seen our student numbers increase dramatically. The team of dedicated staff and technicians provide excellent support for part-time students.

The Earth Sciences cover a broad spectrum of research topics. Students may have an interest in studying the evolution of life through the millennia, working with the fossil record to chart the development and extinction of species. Students may be interested in looking at the dynamics involved in geohazards such as earthquakes and volcanoes. Students may want to reconstruct ancient environments with an eye to addressing key environmental issues of our time, such as climate change and coastal erosion. Or they may wish to expand your general knowledge of the sciences, developing their skills of data collection and scientific analysis.
