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.

Modelling mines: how can a new 3D modelling platform make mining more sustainable and be part of the solution to climate change?

Futurum

Geology, maths, physics, chemistry and biology are all sciences that will be leading this research. There is also a lot happening in the realm of data science, however, basic geology research is still required and is essential for making use of the outcomes of data analytics. Who or what inspired you to become a scientist?

A rocky revolution: Can virtual 3D models transform the teaching of geology?

Futurum

“There are too few students studying geology today,” Laura laments, “and too many non-geologists who do not even think of geology as a science.” Underpinned by scientific skills such as making observations and testing hypotheses, geology is the science of understanding the world around us. Funder : US National Science Foundation (NSF).
