Browse Hierarchy GEOG5006: Earth Systems

The Earth can be thought of as a global system, with a number of 'spheres' interacting within it at a variety of temporal and spatial scales. These 'spheres' underpin the behaviour and character of the global system that we observe. This module explores each of these spheres in turn, developing an understanding of the details of each, which are then unified at the end of the module into a single picture of the global system. This module draws upon a range of disciplines, including geology, hydrology, micro- and macro-ecology, atmospheric chemistry and physics, and computer modelling.
