A rocky revolution: Can virtual 3D models transform the teaching of geology? Published: Fieldwork has long been a mainstay of geology education, but it is not everyone’s cup of tea. Geological features — physical features of the Earth (e.g., Geological features — physical features of the Earth (e.g., not in a classroom).

These data are collected from surveys of the surface geology and drill holes, which allow geologists to build a picture of the subsurface rock. Geology, maths, physics, chemistry and biology are all sciences that will be leading this research. My year 10 geography teacher taught us about plate tectonics, and that was it!

CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. Your pathway will depend on the particular direction you wish to head in, but a solid background in the sciences is important.
